Chord/Tab song: Thirty Summers

INTRO: A D A E A D A E A

[A]Caught in the vice of [D]heaven and earth
H[A]e turned his life into a [E]cell
[A]Imprisoned by the doubts that [D]hound us all
And the de[A]sires that [E]we all know [A]so well
His [F#m]days lost to [A]promises, his [D]nights he purged of [A]dreams
And he'd [A]wake in the hours before [E]sunrise
And dread the [D]coming [E]of the [A]day

[A]Never thought a man could be[D]come so desperate
[A]Never thought a life could lose [E]so much hope
To be [A]tearing at the roots [D]around you
As if in [A]manacles, or [E]irons, or [A]ropes
They [F#m]say he told his [A]children that [D]all he taught was [A]lost
That [A]love and pride and [E]honesty
Were [D]gained at [E]too high a [A]cost

It's been [A]thirty summers that I've [D]spent with him
And I [A]expect thirty more to [E]pass
He has [A]blessed my life in so [D]many ways
That I could [A]never [E]turn my [A]back
But [F#m]I need just one more re[A]minder
Of the [D]man that he used to [A]be
If he would [A]just look deep in[E]to my eyes
And say it's [D]in you my love [E]that I will find the [A]key.
