Bb Bb Gm F Eb F We've got fifty good years left to spend out in the garden Eb Dm I don't care to beg your pardon, Cm F We should live Bb Bb Gm F Eb F Bb Bb Bb until we die. Bb Bb Gm Dm Eb F We were barely eighteen when we'd crossed collective hearts. Eb Dm Cm F It was cold, but it got warm when you'd barely crossed my eye. Bb Bb Gm and then you turned, put out your hand, F Eb F and you asked me to dance. Eb Dm Cm F I knew nothing of romance, but it was love at second sight. Eb F Bb Bb Gm F I swear when I grow up, I won't just buy you a rose. Eb F Bb Bb Gm F I will buy the flower shop, and you will never be lonely. Eb F Even if the sun stops waking up over the fields Bb Bb Gm I will not leave, I will not leave 'till it's our time. Eb F Bb Bb So just take my hand, you know that I will never leave your side. Gm F Eb F Bb Bb Bb Bb Bb Gm F Eb F Bb Bb Bb Bb Bb Gm Dm Eb F It was the winter of '86, and all the fields had frozen over. Eb Dm Cm F So we moved to Arizona to save our only son Bb Bb Gm F and now he's turning to a man, Eb F although he thinks just like his mother, Eb Dm Cm F he believes we're all just lovers he sees hope in everyone. Bb Bb Gm And even though she moved away, F Eb F we always get calls from our daughter. Eb Dm She has eyes just like her father's Cm F they are blue when skies are grey Bb Bb Gm F And just like him, she never stops, Eb F Never takes the day for granted, Eb Dm works for everything that's handed to her, Cm F Never once complains. Eb F Bb Bb Gm F You think that I nearly lost you Eb F Bb Bb Gm F When the doctors tried to take you away. Eb F Bb Bb Gm F But like the night you took my hand beside the fire Eb F thirty years ago Bb to this day Eb F You swore you'd be here 'til we decide that it's our time Bb Bb Gm Well it's not time, you've never quit in all your life. Eb F Bb Bb Gm So just take my hand, you know that I'll never leave your side. Eb F Bb Bb You're the love of my life, you know that I'll never leave your side. Gm F Eb F Bb Bb Bb Interlude: Bb Bb Gm F Eb F Bb Bb Bb Bb Bb Gm F Eb F Bb Bb Bb Bb Bb Gm F Eb F Bb Bb Bb Eb Dm Cm Dm Eb F Eb Dm Cm F Bb Bb Gm F You come home from work Eb F and you kiss me on the eye Eb Dm Cm F You curse the dog you say that I should never feed them what is ours Bb Bb Gm F and so we move all to the garden Eb F look at everything we've owned Eb Dm now the kids are coming home Cm Dm Eb F so I set the table Bb You can make the fire.
if anyone is wondering the tabs for the guitar solo is
A 7-6-4slide2-2-2h4-2-2-2
E ——————————-5-4
i can continue but idk how to write tabs so heres my offering, if i get enough upvotes…maybe i’ll continue?
+1 is easy and sounds more like the original
This song is crazy hard
if you have an “average girl voice” i recommend 3rd capo and transpose to +1, works best for me.
I use +1, it is easy. And the strumming is quickU quickD and D hope this helped!
-Lemon boi
I think -4 is really easy
Im really struggling to find a strumming pattern that fits
i love this song
Does anyone know what the strumming pattern is in this song, also I dont know much about music, so would the strum pattern change if I moved along the transposer? Thanks to everyone for the help. This song is so good, I love cavetown. <3
hello i am transposing it +1, but i found the bridge to be too low when i was trying to sing it, so i moved my capo to +2 and used the same +1 chords. found it easier for female voices, and still sounds just as good
