Capo 2
C minorCm
Once upon a younger year
C minorCm
When all our shadows disappeared
BB C minorCm
The animals inside came out to play
C minorCm
When face to face with all our fears
C minorCm
Learned our lessons through the tears
BB C minorCm
Made memories we knew would never fade

Your wild life will live for younger days
BB BB *
Think of me if ever you're afraid."

So live a life you will remember."

When thunder clouds start pouring down

Light a fire they can't put out
