Song For Life

	  		F                C         Dm       F 
I don't drink as much as I ought to 
Bb        C             F     C 
Lately it just ain't my style 
    F                C              Dm     F 
The hard times don't hurt like they used to 
          Bb           C            F 
They pass quicker like when I was a child 
Bb           C7                F 
Somehow I've learned how to  listen 
      Bb             C         F 
For a sound like the sun going down 
       Bb         C           F    Bb 
In the magic that morning is bringing 
          F             C7         Dm  F7 
There's a song for the life I have found 
Bb          C           F          C 
It keeps my feet on the ground 
 
Solo 
 
F             C             Dm  F 
The midsummer days ain't so heavy 
          Bb            C               F    C 
They just flow like the breeze all the time 
     F          C        Dm F 
When nothing appears in a hurry 
   Bb           C             F 
To make up for  some old lost time 
Bb        C               F 
Somehow I learned  how to listen 
      Bb             C         F 
For a sound like the sun going down 
       Bb         C          F    Bb 
In the magic that morning is bringing 
          F             C7         Dm  F7 
There's a song for the life I have found 
Bb          C           F           
It keeps my feet on the ground 
Bb        C7                F 
Somehow I learned to how to listen 
     Bb             C         Dm F 
To a sound like the sun going down 
       Bb         C          F    Bb              
In the magic that morning is bringing 
          F            Eb            Dm F 
There's a song for the friend I have found 
Bb           C7          F          
She keeps my feet on the ground
