Joseph Morgan - His Last Song

Afinação: E A D G B ETecla: CCapotraste: Sem capotraste [Intro] C [Verse 1] C F C I saw an old man sitting all alone in a corner booth F C G Drinkin' and writin' songs about his youth. C F C I went on and asked him if he knew what tomorrow would bring. F G C He said, "Son, just listen to me sing." [Chorus 1] Am F He said that footprints in the sand are washed away C G by the tossing waves, in a moment's time. Am F And starlights in the sky, they fade out C G above the rain clouds and behind the sun. [Post-Chorus 1] Am F With the fall and rise of the ocean's tides, C G C the waters won't be lost. [Verse 2] C F C I was constantly perplexed by the wisdom in his woes F C G and the way that when he fell, still he rose. C F C He said, "Son, there's a rhythm in the beating of your heart. F G C Learn it so when it stops, you can start." [Chorus 2] Am F Cause the toddler's time for walking only follows C G bays and bellows, fall after fall. Am F The carpenter's hands are only calloused C G by the mallet, under the nail. [Post-Chorus 2] Am F As the final test upon the nest, C G C anxious wings must fly. [Verse 3] C F C He told me, "Anger is a ragin' fire that if you can't control F C G surely will in time take its toll. C F C It'll pick you up and burn you down and put you in your place F G C and go with you always on your face." [Chorus 3] Am F Well the lines upon my face are ever deeper C G and I'd rather keep them from becoming scars. Am F I've been asking God to give me patience C G and I've been waiting for some time. [Post-Chorus 3] Am F In the winter winds, the tree must bend C G C to grow another day. [Verse 4] C F C He said, "Son, truly no one knows the hour of their death F C G or the moment they will draw their final breath. C F C If there's just one thing in this ol' life to you I can pass F G C It's to sing every song as it's your last." [Chorus 4] Am F The dying man sits on a bed of slumber C G in constant wonder of the afterlife Am F while the angel choir sings a chorus C G that is for us who are coming home Am F to the land beyond the great horizon C G where the sun is risin' on ransomed souls. [Post-Chorus 4] Am F As the flower dies, the gardener cries, C G C but knows that death brings life. [Outro] Am F As the flower dies, the gardener cries, C G C but knows that death brings life.
