Forty Years Ago Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]A D[Am]igger[D][G][D][Em][G][Am][D][G]
A digger stands at the [Am]end of the street
His rifle up[D]side [G]down
He died when a woman
could [Am]walk alone
[D]Anywhere in [G]town
If she's not safe in [Am]years of peace
Why did he [D]go to [G]war?
What was the purpose?
[Am]What was the glory?
What was he [D]fighting for?
[G]Yes, sometimes this world
wor[Am]ries me,
Sometimes it [D]makes me [G]cry.
Then one day more is [Am]one day closer
To the [D]day I [G]die.
And I think I'll leave it [Am]all behind,
I've had [D]enough to [G]say.
Go back to [D]nature, [Am]live in the forest,
before they [D]take it [G]away.[Am][D][G]
Now I'm no pauper,
I [Am]don't believe,
I've known a [D]poor man's [G]day.
But I'm still hungry [D]to [Am]know
the reason why I [D]came this [G]way
Was it to learn that I [Am]can't buy
the peace I [D]used to [G]know
When I was just a [Am]little boy,
forty [D]years [G]ago[Am][D]
[G][D][Em][G][Am][D][G]
But if I can learn from [Am]foolish ways
Then I must [D]surely grow
[G]The light within is waiting[Am]
for the [D]chance to glow
[G]And I will keep on searching[Am]
until the [D]day I [G]know
The peace I knew as a [Am]little boy
forty [D]years ago
