_ [F] _ _ [Db] _ You know, sometimes I [Eb] hesitate saying that I [F] wrote this song
[Gb] because it was given [Dm] to me from my heavenly [Bb] father.
_ [Db] _
Come on, you can give it up for me.
_ _ [F] _ [Ab] _ _
[Eb] _ He [Gb] said to write these [Bb] lyrics down and put it to some [Fm] music
and [Eb] put it down on paper and give it to my [Db] children
and let it last for years [Eb] and years and [Fm] years and [Bbm] years. _
_ [Bb] So it's lasted [Eb] through all the fears and [Db] all the tears
and all the years.
