Song of the Violin--James Otto
written by James Otto
This is a beautiful song from one of the Musik Mafia's oft-overlooked members.
Intro: D A G D (twice)
[D]The last fifty years have seen laughter and tears
And your h[A]air slowly f[G]ade to g[D]ray
Your children are grown now and it's hard to believe how
The [A]years have just a[G]ll slipped a[D]way
CHORUS:
But [Bm]in time, you've gained a wisdom
That s[A]eems to elude the y[D]oung
And each [Bm]line that now marks your face
Tells the s[A]tories of all that you've d[D]one
So [G]fear n[A]ot the p[G]assing o[A]f the [D]days[Bm]
Like the s[A]ong of the violin you o[G]nly grow s[A]weeter with a[D]ge
[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
solo D A G D (twice)
CHORUS
Like the [A]song of the violin you [G]only grow s[A]weeter with a[D]ge
D A G D (twice)
The l[D]ast fifty years have seen laughter and tears
And your [A]hair slowly f[G]ade to g[D]ray
