Chords with lyrics
[Verse 1]
A augmentedA C#m/G#
Dear Theodosia, how to say to you
F# minorF#m Dmaj7Dmaj7
Sometime last night, your mother breathed your name
A augmentedA C#m/G#
And like a flame that flickers out too soon, she died
F# minorF#m DmDm
She’s gone
[Verse 2]
A augmentedA C#m/G#
She dedicated every day to you
F# minorF#m Dmaj7Dmaj7
She changed my life, she made my life worthwhile
A augmentedA
And when you smile
C#m/G# F# minorF#m
I know a part of her lives on
D MajorD
I know I can go on
[Chorus]
A augmentedA C#m/G#
You have come of age with our young nation
F# minorF#m
We bleed and fight for you
Dmaj7Dmaj7
Sometimes it seems that's all we do
A augmentedA C#m/G#
And you and I will build a strong foundation
F# minorF#m
And I'll be here for you
Dmaj7Dmaj7 A augmentedA
The way is clear for you to blow us all away
A augmentedA C#m/G# F# minorF#m (D MajorD) A augmentedA
Someday, someday, yeah you'll blow us all away
C#m/G# F# minorF#m
