Lyrics Rex De Long, my music.

lyrics

This Is My Place Words Rex De Long, Music Jan Hauenstein

(C) This is my place. (G) No one has been here be(Am)fore me,
(F) Not in my place. And (G)no one can ever (Am)be.
Only (F)I only know,
Only (E4)my tracks(E) break the (Am)snow
Leading (Dm)to the leaning pine,
(Bb/D)Giving me the time to be (Am)free
For a (G)moment…(Gj7) (Cj7)
If (E)that was meant to be,
Then (Am)that’s enough for me. (E) (Am) (F) (G) (bass notes A-B to...)

(C) This is my life. (G) No one has lived here be(Am)fore me,
(F) Not in my life. And (G)no one can ever (Am)be.
Only (F)I only know,
Only (E4)my breath(E) rises (Am)slowly
(Dm)Into the chilling air,
(Bb/D)Making me aware of the (Am)Moment
Of (G)Living (Gj7) (Cj7)
(E)Closer with the Earth,
A (Am)feeling of Birth. (E) (Am) (F) (G)
(Gj7) (Cj7) (G) (Gj7) (Cj7) (E) (Am) (Fj7) (G)

There is (Em)nothing around me made by (Am)man,
Save the (D7)clothes on my body
And the (G)guitar in my hand.
But the (Am)wood was once a tree
And the (Fj7)cotton once grew free,
(Gj7)Cradled in the Earth, just as (Abj7)I,
And (Cj7 5th fret)all is as it should be, (Gj7)
And (Cj7 5th fret)all is as it should be. (Gj7)
(Cj7 5th fret) (Gj7) (Abj7) (Gj7) (Abj7) (Gj7) (G)

(C) This is my place. (G) No one has been here be(Am)fore me,
(F) Not in my place. And (G)no one shall ever (Am)be.
Only (F)I only know,
Only (E4)my feet(E) break the (Am)snow,
Sadly (Dm)leaving this place,
For (Bb/D)it will never be the same a(Am)gain,
And I (G)think I feel the rain…(Gj7) (Cj7) (G) (Gj7) (Cj7) (G)

Why no free uploads? I cover songs. Register them with the German music rights agency GEMA. They hopefully reimburse the artists. The tax authorities demand that I make (not lose) a little money each year... ... more
