Chords

Standard

[Ebm] Once upon a younger year
    
[Ebm] When all our shadows disappeared
                             
[Db] The animals inside came out to [Ebm] play
     
[Ebm] When face to face with all our fears

[Ebm] Learned our lessons through the tears
                              
[Db] Made memories we knew would never [Ebm] fade

           
 One day my father— [B] he told me,
            
"Son, don't let [Gb] it slip away"
                                   
He [Db] took me in his arms, I heard him [Ebm] say,
  
              
"When you get [B] older
                    
Your wild life will [Gb] live for younger days
                          
[Db] Think of me if ever you're [Db] afraid."


(Pre-chorus : single strum)
                                           
He said, "One [B] day you'll leave this world [Gb] behind
                        
So live a [Db] life you will [Ebm] remember."
                                   
My father [B] told me when I was just a [Gb] child
                               
These are the [Db] nights that never [Ebm] die

My father told me


 B - Gb - Db - Ebm - Db

                         
[Ebm[ When thunder clouds start pouring down
        
[Ebm] Light a fire they can't put out
                                   
[Db] Carve their name into those shinning [Ebm] stars
         
He said, [Ebm] "Go adventure far beyond these shores.

[Ebm] Don't forsake this life of yours.
                                       
[Db] I'll guide you home no matter where you [Ebm] are."
