19 Seventy Sumthin Chords' by Neck Deep

[Ab] Let's start it here back in
1970 something I can't pin [Fm] down the year
When the [Ab] romance [Db] was it dead and [Ab] love still stood for something
There was a girl who had lost her way
She was red when [Fm] he came over and they [Ab] danced [Db] the night away
And he [Ab] sung as he drove her home and it was [Eb] there that [Ab] she would say
If I could then [Fm] I would save you then he [Ab] smiled and [Db] turned away
In six [Ab] weeks, they're [Bb] saying I do
_ [Db] Go that [Ab] way no more
[Fm] But the seed [Cm] comes the tree
[Eb] Take shape of a [Ab] family [Fm] we grow and [Cm] we change
The face the way my people [Ab] to believe [Fm] through it all
[Cm] Standing tall [Eb] and just don't [Ab] say it enough [Fm] if not [Cm] for you
[Eb] No, it wouldn't be [Ab] standing at all
_ _ _ And now it's [Eb] [Ab] 1990 something.
How the [Bbm] hell did we [Fm] end up here?
For [Cm] kids and a [Db] few jobs later and the [Eb] pictures [Ab] fill the pages
It's been [Eb] hard.
[Ab] It's been hard, but you'd be a [Bbm] fool to [Fm] give it up
But you [Cm] know that [Db] what we got is bigger [Eb] than the two [Ab] of us
It's been [Eb] hard.
Oh, [Ab] it's been hard, but it's bigger [Bbm] than that
[Fm] And I will [Cm] hold you [Db] in my arms when you [Eb] feel like [Bb] it _
Love [Db] _ just don't go that [Ab] way no more
[Fm] But the seed [Cm] comes the tree
[Eb] Take shape of a [Ab] family
[Fm] We grow and [Cm] we change [Eb] the face the way my people [Ab] to believe
[Fm] _
_ [Cm] Just [Eb] don't [Ab] say it enough [Fm] if not [Cm] for you
[Eb] Would it be [Ab] standing at all?
Now it's [Eb] 2000 [Ab] is something we [Bbm] made it [Fm] here my dear
[Cm] Grandkids and the [Db] mortgage paid off.
Is [Eb] this what [Ab] dreams are made of?
[Eb] Baby, we [Ab] made it
Yes, [Bbm] baby, you [Fm] saved me
But [Cm] nothing you [Db] saved me
_ _ [Eb] [G] Ambulance that day [Cm] he went
[Fm] away
The [Eb] heart [Db] attack was short.
[Eb] He didn't feel [Fm] no pain
If you [Eb] saw it [Db] now, then what [Eb] what would [Fm] you say?
I [Eb] love you, and [Db] I miss you
[Eb]
Oh you [Fm] everything [Ab] and [Eb] hope you know [Bb] you _ _
[Fm] _ [Db] You _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
_ _ [Cm] _ [Ab] _ _ _ [Bbm] _ [Fm] _
_ _ [Cm] _ [Db] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ [Ab] _ _ [Bb] and [Fm] _
_ _ [C] [Db] you cry [Ab] that's what he would have done
_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] [Fm] He would have done
_ [Ab] _ [Db] _ Yeah, [Ab] that's what he would have done it's been hard
_ He's a [Bb] part of
[Fm] _
You [Cm] hold you [Db] and you cry just [Ab] that's what family
