Memory Chords by Kina Grannis

_ [Gm] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ [Bb] Beneath the bed it's another attack
But when the monster turns, man, don't know how to react
And daddy named it the singing bridge
In memory of the ghosts that lived here
My timing could not have been better
_ She cries, _ [Gm] _ _ _ now that she's gone, _ it's over
Memory hangs on, _ _ _ _ now that she's gone, _ it's over
[Bb] Memory hangs [Eb] on
_ _ [Bb] _ _ Yeah _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ As the dust settles and the smoke is rising
Up above the dove is crying
Leave a trail of copper faces
All around the town in different places
I'd like to think that they'll be happy
Or try
_ _ [Gm] _ _ Now that she's gone, _ _ _ _ remember, _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] now that she's [Eb] gone, _ [Gm] it's over
[Bb] Memory _
_ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
Now that she's gone, remember, now that she's gone, [Bb] it's over
Now, _ _
[Bb] _ _ now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, [Eb] now, now_
_ _ [Gm] _ _ [C] _ and there was this little bridge.
Daddy named it the singing bridge in memory [Gm] of
the ones that lived there.
I think it's something [C] like that.
But there was this little bridge, and when you stood over it
[A] and just sat and listened, [Gm] you could kind of hear
all of these voices kind of just like
[Bb] wailing and singing, like the souls of all the people that had [Gm] died.
It was so, so [Bb] sad, but it was kind of a beautiful thing
[A] and a comforting thing in that moment, I guess, to hear all those voices.
[Eb] And so this song was about the dream, and then it's also about loss.
And then there's this other little tidbit in the song,
in the second verse,
Leave a trail of copper faces all around the [E] town in different places.
I'd like to think [Bb] that they'll be happy.
Or try.
I went through a [Gm] phase for a long time in my life.
I haven't done it in a while.
Actually, I did it a couple months ago.
You know when you're walking and you find [C] a penny and it's heads up?
You're like, oh, heads up, good luck!
And then you pick it up and you feel lucky and [Bb] you feel good.
I would plant face-up pennies wherever I went
in hopes that someone would come across [Bb] it and find it
and feel lucky and happy.
I don't know if it works.
I don't know if anyone ever found those pennies, but it's like this fun little thing I have
and I'm like, maybe this is going to make someone's day.
[Fm] So if you see a face-up penny, maybe it [C] was me.
Probably wasn't though, but it might be.
Thank you as always to my patrons for supporting my art.
If you would like to support my art too, you can do that.
You can become a patron and you can check out the links down here or up here.
I would love to have you [A] in my little family.
A reminder to anyone in Florida, [Gm] I'm playing a show April 1st in Safety Harbor.
And [C] I'll put the ticket link down here and I hope to see you guys soon.
And that's it.
For real, that's it.
I'll see you guys soon, okay?
Thank you.
Bye!
