Chains

[C]There are notes that ring eternal

there are [Am]songs that will remain

[F]momma sang a song of love

I've carried all my d[G]ays

And I [C]find my own voice singin'

in a v[Am]oice that I once heard

I [F]recognize the feelings

I r[G]ecognize the w[C]ords

[Em]--->[Am]    [Em]             [Am]
  oh,      here it comes again

[Em]---->[Am]    [F]               [G]
  oh,      some things never end

[C]there are things that aren't forgotten

there are [Am]things that still remain

[F]events of long ago, now

[G]somehow form a [C]chain

[C]grandpa cracked a whip down

it's [Am]stung a long, long time

[F]daddy picked that whip up

cracked that back of [G]mine

in a [C]moment high confusion

has [Am]got a grip on me

[F]i wonder how that whip now

[G]is in the hand i se[C]e

there are scars that aren't forgotten
there are scars that still remain
events of long ago now
somehow form a chain

can you find it in the mirror?
can you find it in your heart?
look into tomorrow
do you stop before you start?

do you find your own voice ringin'
in a voice that you once heard?
do you recognize the feelings?
do you recognize the words?

oh, here it comes again
oh, some things never end

there are things that aren't forgotten
there are things that will remain
events of long ago
somehow form a chain
