VERSE:
 A augmentedA         C# minorC#m
The ocean wears the rocks into sand,
 D MajorD        A augmentedA
Seasons change upon the land,
 A augmentedA       C# minorC#m
Once a boy but now a man,
  D MajorD         E MajorE
I look back on the years

A augmentedA         C# minorC#m
I think of all my family who
 D MajorD        A augmentedA
Came and went before I knew,
F# minorF#m           C# minorC#m
  They had dreams just like I do,
    D MajorD          E MajorE
How I wish I`d known them all.


PRE-CHORUS:
     D MajorD
And the songs we sing,
     E MajorE
And the tunes we play,
   A augmentedA   E MajorE   F# minorF#m
Have echoed out before,
  D MajorD           E MajorE
On moonlit nights or on stormy seas,
    F# minorF#m        A augmentedA
On the land or far from shore


CHORUS:
    D MajorD         E MajorE
As my fingers play these notes,
     A augmentedA    E MajorE    F# minorF#m
And the memories draw the tears,
  B minorBm   C# minorC#m   B minorBm D MajorD
I think of all my family
     E MajorE        A augmentedA
And the passing of the years.

VERSE:
 A augmentedA        C# minorC#m
Somewhere in the years gone by,
  D MajorD         A augmentedA
My parents they were girl and boy,
 A augmentedA          C# minorC#m
Together they would laugh and cry,
     D MajorD          E MajorE
As they journeyed on through life

   A augmentedA        C# minorC#m
But time goes by and hair turns gray,
 D MajorD        A augmentedA
Children grow and move away,
F# minorF#m         C# minorC#m
 Young I wish they both could stay,
   D MajorD        E MajorE
But that could never be.


PRE-CHORUS:
   D MajorD          E MajorE
And all the things I`ve learned from them
  A augmentedA   E MajorE   F# minorF#m
I never will forget,
   D MajorD          E MajorE
The times that they were proud of me,
     F# minorF#m        A augmentedA
And the times they were upset


CHORUS:
    D MajorD         E MajorE
As my fingers play these notes,
     A augmentedA    E MajorE    F# minorF#m
And the memories draw the tears,
  B minorBm   C# minorC#m   B minorBm D MajorD
I think of all my family
     E MajorE        A augmentedA A augmentedA
And the passing of the years.

VERSE:
A augmentedA           C# minorC#m
My grandparents were special, too,
   D MajorD         A augmentedA
They sang old songs that no one knew,
 A augmentedA            C# minorC#m
They`d always smile when they saw you,
 D MajorD          E MajorE
Growing before their eyes

 A augmentedA        C# minorC#m
But grandparents disappear,
  D MajorD       A augmentedA
I miss them more every year,
F# minorF#m      C# minorC#m
  Sometimes I shed a tear,
  D MajorD        E MajorE
To see them once again.


PRE-CHORUS:
     D MajorD        E MajorE
And the hands that once held us
    A augmentedA    E MajorE    F# minorF#m
On the days that we were born,
   D MajorD         E MajorE
Have since become all weathered,
D MajorD     A augmentedA
Aged, and worn


CHORUS:
    D MajorD         E MajorE
As my fingers play these notes,
     A augmentedA    E MajorE    F# minorF#m
And the memories draw the tears,
  B minorBm   C# minorC#m   B minorBm D MajorD
I think of all my family
     E MajorE        A augmentedA  A augmentedA
And the passing of the years.

VERSE:
 A augmentedA    C# minorC#m           D MajorD
Now as I sit and dream where my life is going
   A augmentedA
And where it`s been,
  A augmentedA        C# minorC#m
I picture all the sites I`ve seen
     D MajorD        E MajorE
And the people that I`ve met

   A augmentedA        C# minorC#m
And sometimes when I start to cry,
  D MajorD          A augmentedA
My mind drifts back to days gone by,
F# minorF#m        C# minorC#m
There is no simple answer
   D MajorD        E MajorE
Why time goes by so fast.


PRE-CHORUS:
     D MajorD
And the songs we sing,
     E MajorE
And the tunes we play,
   A augmentedA   E MajorE   F# minorF#m
Have echoed out before,
  D MajorD           E MajorE
On moonlit nights or on stormy seas,
    F# minorF#m        A augmentedA
On the land or far from shore


CHORUS:
    D MajorD         E MajorE
As my fingers play these notes,
     A augmentedA    E MajorE    F# minorF#m
And the memories draw the tears,
  B minorBm   C# minorC#m   B minorBm D MajorD
I think of all my family
     E MajorE        A augmentedA F# minorF#m
And the passing of the yeeeears.


OUTRO:
  B minorBm       D MajorD
I think of all my family
     E MajorE        A augmentedA
And the passing of the years.
