Chords with lyrics

Key: G+G

Intro:

G+G A minorAm D MajorD G+G x4



Verse 1:
G+G
I know just where to begin
A minorAm
Singing my songs into the wind
D MajorD
Letting them just blow away
G+G
And never hearing them again
G+G
Friends of mine were in a band
A minorAm
Halifax was on the stands
D MajorD
And I thought I had a chance
G+G
To be like them

Chorus:
  E minorEm     D MajorD   G+G
So I recorded and I sang
     A minorAm      E minorEm      D MajorD
About the things that I knew of back then
C majorC       D MajorD          G+G
Some kids who heard and saw me in them
   A minorAm      E minorEm
At a time in their lives
   A minorAm    E minorEm  D MajorD
When music was everything
      G+G   A minorAm D MajorD G+G
It was everything


Verse 2:
G+G
Loading up my red Tercell
A minorAm
With my guitar and things to sell
D MajorD
Getting to the Embassy hotel
G+G
Just in time to play
G+G
The year was 1994
A minorAm
They were cross-legged on the floor
D MajorD
Listening to my bedroom wall
G+G
Oh, those were the days

Chorus:
   E minorEm     D MajorD   G+G
When I recorded and I sang
     A minorAm      E minorEm      D MajorD
About the things that I knew of back then
C majorC       D MajorD          G+G
Some kids who heard and saw me in them
   A minorAm     E minorEm
At a time in our lives
   A minorAm    E minorEm  D MajorD
When music was everything
      G+G   A minorAm D MajorD G+G
It was everything


Verse 3:
Play first four lines quietly:
G+G
Then everything changed over the phone
A minorAm
California to my home
D MajorD
My hero's voice after the tone
G+G
Yeah, my mind was blown
G+G
Soon every note became a song
A minorAm
And I was rarely alone
D MajorD
Most of what I longed for was gone
G+G
So I shut things down


Chorus:
    E minorEm      D MajorD  G+G
Oh, but I'm recording once again
     A minorAm    E minorEm    D MajorD
While my kid is upstairs in bed
C majorC     D MajorD      G+G
And I'll admit now and then
     A minorAm       E minorEm
That some nights when I'm strumming
  A minorAm     E minorEm
Or maybe just drumming
  A minorAm    E minorEm     D MajorD
The music is still everything
Pause for effect:
          G+G   A minorAm D MajorD G+G
Well, almost everything


Outro:
G+G A minorAm D MajorD G+G x8
