Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!
FGCAm I did what everyone else does FGCAm I drifted back to my hometown FG With my restless heart kept hidden CGAm Deep within my chest I knew FGC They'd have to take me back again
FGCAm Put on my shoes to search for clues FGCAM But you'll never find them there FG Nor with the mates from your old class CGAm Gathered after midnight mass FGC Round the bar in the predawn hours of Christmas morning
F They thought I'd outgrown them GC They could read it on my face FGC I wanted to leave but my face... FG Had an appointment to keep CGAm with the fist of some young freak FGC That's why I wear this scar beneath my eye
FGCAm Summer Job tending lawns for old men FGCAm who sit round predicting weather with their bones FG sticks and stones are more akin CGAm to what lies underneath their skin FGC and their souls cling on to that skeleton
F and if i had a dollar GC for everytime i shoulda been paid FGC Then i would have been paid FG but their meagre money couldnt buy CGAm the blue out of the sky FGC or downpay the common day to stay away
break
FGCAm some weeks before the whirl began FGCAm i drifted back to my hometown FG to all the blessed, to me a curse CGAm to the pioneers who got there first FGC stay in the ground for if i come back again
FG to all the soul folks swaying pines CGAm the shoes hanging on power lines F i keep you here GC for if i come back again.
