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!
[Verse 1] FA The times we had, oh, when the wind would blow with rain and snow FA Were not all bad, we put our feet just where they had FA Had to go, never to go
[Verse 2] FA The shattered soul following close, but nearly twice as slow FA In my good times there were always golden rocks to throw FA At those who, those who admit defeat too late FA Those were our times, those were our times
[Instrumental] FA (x5) FF BbFDmC (x2)
[Chorus] BbFDmC And I will love to see that day, that day is mine BbFDmC When she will marry me outside with the willow trees BbFDmC And play the songs in May, they made me so BbFDmC And I would love to see that day, the day was mine
