Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
--- Intro Riff (see end of Tab) ---
Am C
I saw you shining like a lighter in a foxhole
G Am
and without delay I put you in my sights
C
for many years I watched you dancing in my crosshairs
G E Am
but I couldn't pull the trigger for my life
F (Fmaj7) C
but then one day I got the stones to take your hand, dear
G Am
and I won you with a flower and a smile
F (Fmaj7) C
though all I had to offer was a fireplace
G E Am
and a face you learned to love after awhile
---- Intro Riff again ---
Am C
one day I was called to serve my country
G Am
and I went because I'd never been away
C
I returned home with a bandage on my forehead
G E Am
and a memory that gets weaker every day
F (Fmaj7) C
and now you never touch me like you used to
G C
and my injuries don't even start to heal
F (Fmaj7) C
I was sure right then and there that I would lose you
G E Am
oh how wretched your beauty makes me feel
--- Riff Variation (see end of Tab)---
Am C
I used to think our love was but a trifle
G Am
I was surprised it lasted through the month of May
C
but now I am too old to lift my rifle
G E Am
and you're still here to watch me waste away
F (Fmaj7) C
my love I've lost so many friends since we got married
G Am
and I know that you could say the same to me
F (Fmaj7) C
I believe I was the first to ever catch you
G E Am
perhaps I should be the first to set you free
--- Interlude ---
Am C
I saw you shining like the sunlight through the window
G Am
and the truth it started slowly sinking in
C
and I knew when I walked the door this morning
G E Am
I would never see your pretty face again
F (Fmaj7) C
so don't go searching for my body in the cattails
G Am
just be happy that I've found a place to rest
F (Fmaj7) C
by the time you read this letter I'll be gone dear
G Am
you know I love you, but this is for the best
G E Am
you know I love you, but this is for the best
