40 Miles

D Em G D INTRO D Every time I make this trip, G A D 40 miles is all it takes. Along the way I see my life, G A D Every triumph and mistake. There's the tree where we carved a heart, G A D And signed our names to show our love. Now the memories come flooding back, G A D With all the things we were dreaming of. G D 40 miles won't take a day, Bm A G But its a long, long way. D Its not far as the crow flies, Em G D Em G D My whole life in 40 miles. I remember one dark day, G A D Limping home all stoney broke. The golden boy all ragged and torn, G A D The longest miles that I ever drove. Later on when the years had turned, G A D Coming home with a heart full of pride. Telling all the sweet old stories, G A D To the woman soon to be my bride. G D 40 miles won't take a day, Bm A G But its a long, long way. D Its not far as the crow flies, Em G D Em G D My whole life in 40 miles. There's the road to the old stone church, G A D Where we layed grandma down to rest. I remember what she said: G A D I'm ready child, now please don't fret. Now I just passed the second creek, G A D Another circle has come around. It won't be long till I see the light, G A D 40 miles behind me now. G D 40 miles won't take a day, Bm A G But its a long, long way. D Its not far as the crow flies, Em G D My whole life in 40 miles. Em G D My whole life in 40 miles.
