Fading Voices

C D7 G Fading voices all around C D Still I hear their joyful sound G Em Once they stood beside me when Am C D7 We were young and singing then G C D7 G Songs that came like shooting stars C D G To shine their light on our guitars Em Words that set our souls aflame Am C D7 G Thinking all our lives a game C D Am Fading voices all around D7 G C D7 G C D7 Still I hear their joyful sound G C D7 G The road, the girls, the sun at dawn C D G The tunes that in that hour were born Em Side by side we took the stage Am C D7 G And never thought we'd reach this age G C D7 G So, some just gave it all away C D G And let the bottle win the day Em Some just watched their spotlight die Am C D7 G Till darkness took them from our eye C D Am Fading voices all around D7 G Still I hear their joyful sound G C D7 Old soldiers now as young ones come G C D G New tales to tell new chords to strum Em Names that once we held so dear Am C D7 Are unknown to the young ones here G C D Am But fading voices all around C D Still I hear their joyful sound G Em Once they stood beside me when Am C D7 We were young and singing then G C D7 Old soldiers now, our torches burn Am D G Still bright but take them, it's your turn
