Intro: Ab Ab Bbm Eb Verse: Ab Little boy, when you speak Ab I can't help but kiss your cheeks Bbm I love the way you grab my hands Eb And tell me all about your plans Verse: Ab Rocket high, comets fly Ab You and I could take a ride Bbm And fly away to Neverland Eb And give our best to Peter Pan Chorus: Db When you reach for the stars Bbm Don't forget who you are Fm Eb And please don't turn around and grow up way too fast Db See the sand in my grasp Bbm From the first to the last Fm Eb Every grain becomes a memory of the past Db Bbm Oh, life's an hourglass Eb Ab Life's an hourglass Verse -same as first-: Story's read, prayer is said Close your eyes sleepyhead While angels linger in your dreams And hold you in their feathered wings Just like you, I was small Not that long ago at all I wish you all the happiness That God gives freely if you ask Chorus: Db When you reach for the stars Bbm Don't forget who you are Fm Eb And please don't turn around and grow up way too fast Db See the sand in my grasp Bbm From the first to the last Fm Eb Every grain becomes a memory of the past Db Bbm Oh, life's an hourglass Eb Ab Life's an hourglass
I know it must take some time to write down, and I appreciate it. Would you be able to put the chords on the second verse as well as the first. It’s hard to figure out the chords and play while having to scroll up and down the page. Thank you.
-1 is easier to play but I’m not completely agreeing with the Am7 chord.
-6 sounds really good, at least for me. I have a baritone and a tenor and so I started learning this on the bari but it just didn’t sound right, so I went down 6 steps and played the bari chords on my tenor, probably not a very relatable situation, but -6 is still really easy.
Try substituting the Em7 for a regular Em if you have it transposed to -6. I find this to be much nicer sounding. Hope this helps! 🙂
I like replacing C with Cmaj7 and putting a capo on the second fret. Sounds nice
AND TRANSPOSED TO -6! I FORGOT THAT PART IM SORRY
I think -1 sounds the best if you replace Am7 to C or A
If you transpose to -1, I think it sounds good to replace the Am7 with Dm everywhere but the bridge. 🙂
Actually, scratch that. -1, Am7 to A. 🙂
-1 sounds best if you replace the Am7 with Am, it fits more than A to me
