Lewis Maira - Papa

Afinação: E A D G B ECapotraste: Sem capotraste [Verse 1] C G Sunday afternoons, echoes of play-by-play, Am F Mets on the radio, we’d hang on every word you'd say. C G You’d recount war stories, heroes who never fade, Am F In every tale and inning, your passion was displayed. [Verse 2] C G Weekends at the fish store, rows of tanks aglow, Am F Choosing new companions, in waters deep and slow. C G Pond fish that shimmered, our shared delight. Am F These simple joys, Papa, only time could spite. [Chorus] C G We miss you more than words can show, Am F Through the love you gave, we've come to know C G What it means to hold on, and when to let go, Am F Unconditional love, forever our echo. [Verse 3] C G September’s chill brought a silence, so abrupt, Am F On a birthday, no less, the day our hearts were struck. C G Your third battle ended, but your strength still guides, Am F In moments we gather, your spirit still presides. [Bridge] Am Em Grandma’s hand you’d hold, eyes that spoke in silent grace, F C Through years and tears, a steadfast race. Am Em In every shared whisper, every patient smile, F G You taught me love endures, transcends every mile. [Verse 4] C G In the crackle of old films, your laughter filled the room, Am F Glimpses of your youth, alive in afternoon. C G Echoes of Giants' games, the cheers and the defeats, Am F In these rituals, your spirit, in my heart repeats. [Chorus] C G We miss you more than words can show, Am F Through the love you gave, we've come to know C G What it means to hold on, and when to let go, Am F Unconditional love, forever our echo. C G You’re gone, yet here within every part, Am F C Still here, still loved, forever in our heart.
