Three Chords and the Truth

[vince23]

Asking friends ways to write a simple song.
one friend said, anyway you want,,3 chords and the truth is all you need.
and this fell out about a day later.
a friend that really wanted to sing this, thats good for me, I`m no singer
he was very persistent  a few mistakes but its all good.

Three chords and the Truth 
V1==== 
Moma was young and so pretty
so much of the world left to see
She left us standing at the station
said I love you..and set herself free.
V 2
through the years I once saw Her
Come sit beside me and play
All the heartbreak and the roads I had taken
refused to stay behind that day.
chorus
I sang three chords and the truth
a hurtful thing but I got through it.
three chords and the truth
so very hard but that was all I needed..
three chords and the truth
music bridge:
V3---
On the way to redemption
A life gets filled with regret
I  found the years falling behind me.
and I was the only one there..
chorus
three chords and the truth 
a hurtful thing but I got through it.
three chords and the truth
so very hard... but that was all I needed,
three chords and the truth.

V4....
take a hand someone told me
from silhouettes of the past..
time is always forgiving...
I don`t know if thats ever enough..
chorus
three chords and the truth
a hurtful thing but you`ll get through it.
three chords and the truth
so very hard but that is all thats needed
three chords and the truth.

Excellent love  the song great vocal got that jack Johnson vibe going on with it 

[danthecoat]

Fantastic song and in the words of the Late Great Lou Reed

"One chord is fine. Two chords are pushing it. Three chords and you're into jazz."

This has a vibe of Lou Reed/Velvets about it.

I love it 

[Ray Brookes]

Nice song, Vince and nicely presented. That key change from D up to E at around 4:42 ish lifts the song perfectly and I like the simplistic accompaniment - just right for an intimate song like this. Great lyrics too BTW.

[TPB]

Wow outstanding simple backing and outstanding lyrics perfect as it is
Well done brother
Tim
