Day 9 - Simple Pleasures (Peace)

Day Nine - and this one, I really like. I mean, a couple of the others have been fairly good, but this one I really like. The challenge today was the opposite of yesterday - so sad melody/music, happy lyrics. Read the lyrics below before you watch the video, because these are joyful lyrics - but the music makes it seem a lot more sad, and contemplative. I pretty much did the chord pattern, and wrote this song as I played. Like it when that happens. Lyrics below, video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmGZLfgISvE

Simple Pleasures (Peace)

V1: / vi iii / IV / x4

I watch the flowers

They bend and sway in the breeze

The soaring towers

Blown about by the wind through the trees

V2:

I watch the sunrise

The light filtering through the clouds

A sudden surprise

Jostling the crowds

C: / ii / IV / x2

The simple pleasures

They bring me life

V3:

I watch the waves break

Out on the beach, they’re rolling in

I feel the earth shake

Comes from the pound and the spin

C x2

I: / vi / IV / I / V iii / x4 / IV //

V4:

I watch the stars shine

Their beauty so clear from afar

I wish they were mine

Just so I’d know this (peace)
