Verse
[Em]Once upon a younger year
When [Em]all our shadows disappeared
The [D]animals inside came out to [Em]play
When [Em]face to face with all our fears
[Em]Learned our lessons through the tears
Made [D]memories we knew would never [Em]fade
Prechorus
One day my [C]father he told me,
"Son, don't [G]let it slip away"
He [D]took me in his arms, I heard him [Em]say,
"When you get [C]older
Your wild life will [G]live for younger days
[D]Think of me if ever you're afraid."
Chorus: single strum
He said, "One [C]day you'll leave this world [G]behind
So live a [D]life you will [Em]remember."
My father [C]told me when I was just a [G]child
These are the [D]nights that never [Em]die
My father told me
Instrumental

Verse
When [Em]thunderclouds start pouring down
[Em]Light a fire they can't put out
[D]Carve their name into those shining [Em]stars

[Em]Don't forsake this life of yours.
[D]I'll guide you home no matter where you [Em]are."
