Song Of The Violin

Intro:  D  A  G  D  (twice) 
 
D 
The last fifty years have seen laughter and tears 
          A           G       D 
And your hair slowly fade to gray 
                             
Your children are grown now and it's hard to believe how 
    A                G           D 
The years have just all slipped away 
 

    Bm                    
But in time, you've gained a wisdom 
      A                  D 
That seems to elude the young 
         Bm 
And each line that now marks your face 
           A                          D 
Tells the stories of all that you've done 
   G     A       G       A     D   Bm 
So fear not the passing of the days 
          A                      G         A            D 
Like the song of the violin you only grow sweeter with age  
 
D  A  G   D 
 
As time's pages turn you lived and you learned 
What truly mattered most 
Is family and friends and in the end 
Finding peace in the path that you chose 
 
CHORUS

CHORUS 
         A                      G          A            D
