Everything is Hard

Nothing worth while is easy.  Take my job for instance lol.  But it's true.  I guess I was thinking this when I wrote "Everything is Hard"  for the electric guitar.  I did it in Aminor so it has a raspy kind of finish.  Try it sometime....d


Everything is Hard
       Am
too much trouble
     D♭m           B♭          Em
it seems  like all there is
  Em               Am              D7                                 I
will we ever cease from being tested
   D♭        Am          Em
pain is a tool of God

        Am          D7
the only relief is our slumbers

perils escape in dreams                                                                     I
 
the sweet dawn gives recompense

guiding us for the  Way

          Em            D♭m
your men will dream dreams
            B♭                Am
your children will have vision
           Em
close your eyes
                        D♭m     B♭      Em
and feel the burning of the lamb
           Am
His sacrifice
 D♭m      D7          Em  
He will get you through 


It plays kind of punk but....especially "perils escape in dreams"  and "pain is a tool of God".
The effect is good, though.  Do it as an encore and tell them I sent you lol.

There is a Girl

One day I was sitting in the McDonalds lobby and in walked a pre or post teenage girl Im not sure which.  I thought that she probably had a lot on her mind...who to marry where to work and such.  It inspired a song in me.  I performed it rather rudimentary on keyboards via social media a while back.
Its in the rather pensive key of Fminor....here it is:
     
There is a girl
   F
theres a girl
     G
she gets a drink
    Am
she goes to eat
    C
on a mission

    B
works in the sun

Thy will be done
    E♭
Ive just begun
    B♭
theres a girl


theres a girl
will be dating
but keep waiting
theres a girl

getting older
time flows freely
help the needy
theres a girl

autumns coming
look what Ive done
On a mission
theres a girl

kids are trained in
all they have to
and some more too
theres a girl  

I was going to perform it on social media on the guitar, but Id rather live in front of people.  I think Ive made enough videos for one lifetime!
