I Hope the Years and You Have Been Good Together

 

A                                 B7                     E

*I hope the years and you have been good together

A             B7                     E

Time is such an amazing thing

A                         B7                             E

One day it’s just a moment since I last saw you

A                 B7                       E

the next your lost in an ancient dream

 

 

Dº           A               Bm7             A

Sometimes I remember yesterday like tomorrow

E         Bm7                              A

Sometimes yesterday is as vivid as today

Dº                   A             Bm7                    A

but no matter how many years pass between us

E                                   D                        A

there is a place in my life where you stay

 

*

Dº           A               Bm7             A

There are people you live with but never get to know

E         Bm7                              A

Others who share their whole life with you in an hour

Dº                   A             Bm7                    A

You know a handshake that says the owner feels good inside

E                       D                        A

And the ramblings of the phantasiser

 

*

Dº           A               Bm7             A

I have got so much to say thank you for

E         Bm7                              A

Your singing and playing got me to start

Dº                   A             Bm7                    A

I made up some songs and travelled around the world

E                       D                        A

with you singing in my heart

 

*

Dº           A               Bm7             A

All these years you’ve been making people well

E         Bm7                              A

I travelled the world with some songs to sell

Dº                   A             Bm7                    A

Times were bad and times were good as well

E                       D                        A

Some people were nice and some were hell

 

*

Dº           A               Bm7             A

So all these years have come and gone

E         Bm7                              A

took my hair and made you grey

Dº                   A             Bm7                    A

Though time is nibbling at our bodies

E                       D                 A

The friendship has remained

 

*

Dº           A               Bm7             A

I think of you each time I play my guitar

E         Bm7                              A

I remember your steady hand and the things you taught me

Dº                   A             Bm7                    A

You’re intelligent and kind, the kind of person to trust

E                       D                        A

With the most secret, secret in the universe
