Tears of Gold Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]One[G] day we are young

[Verse 2]
And by the [D]next one we are
[Bm]old despite [F#m]the years
And [G]tears of [D]gold precede [G]the rapture

[Verse 3]
[G]Time has its way with every[D]one
In its [Bm]path, she combs [F#m]her hair
And [G]tears of [D]gold fall on [G]the grave
Tears of [D]gold
[G]Tears of golden re[D]straint
As [G]evidence of the [D]pain that
we [G]feel in[D]side

[Verse 4]
[Am]Mary-Anne settle [C]settle down,
let's bring the [G]band around, how 'bout?
And we'll [Am]sing you to
[C]Heaven and [D]back
[Am]Laura-Lee sets sets the [C]food
out on the [G]tabletop for us
And [Am]when she asked [C]Mary-Anne
to to say [D]grace
[C]Mary-Anne settles settles [D]down wiping
[G]tears of [D]gold from [G]her face

[Verse 5]
[G]Where we are strong by to[D]morrow we
will grow [Bm]weak and disap[F#m]pear
Our [G]families all gather
[D]round to [G]remember
Where we are flesh and blood,
by the [D]next one
We are [Bm]dust under the [F#m]wheels
Without a [G]love,
we are only [D]ashen urns [G]of silver
Tears of [D]gold
[G]Tears of golden re[D]straint
As [G]evidence of the [D]pain that she [G]feels
Tears [D]of gold
[G]Tears of gold [A]prom[G]ise the [D]rapture
and heal the [G]soul

[Verse 6]
Replacing [G]the tears of [D]gold with [G]music,

[Verse 7]
and laughter
[G]Tears of [D]gold
[G]Tears [A]of gold
[D]
