42 Years Later

Em There was once in my life something frightening happened C Someone close to me died, Left me all abandoned G D I Dont know why, but its on my mind Em I was six years old when my mother left me C G All confused when they told me that I could never see her again D No, never again Em And 42 years later I’m still sitting here C Little hard to breath when I’m thinking of her Em D Dont know why, but she’s on my mind Em How my life would be like, would I be more like her C Would my life had turned out to be so much better Em D Dont know why, but its on my mind C Dont know nothing of her but what my father told me Em And my memories failed me when I was growing older D And little by little, she was fading away C But when I look at my life in my back view mirror Em I see it wasn’t all bad, some part would have been better D D But I’ve grown up well, Would she have been proud? Em I´m a father now, my son just turned fourteen C Eight years older then me when my mother left me G D I dont know why, I still wanna cry Em And 42 years later I’m still sitting here C Little hard to breath when I’m thinking of her Em D Dont know why, but she’s on my mind Em How my life would be like, would I be more like her C Would my life had turned out to be so much better Em D Dont know why, but its on my mind C Dont know nothing of her but what my father told me Em And my memories failed me when I was growing older D And little by little, she was fading away Em And 42 years later I’m still sitting here C Little hard to breath when I’m thinking of her Em D Dont know why, but she’s on my mind Em How my life would be like, would I be more like her C Would my life had turned out to be so much better Em D Dont know why, but its on my mind Em But when I look at my life in my back view mirror C I see it wasn’t all bad, some part would have been better Em D Dont know why, but its on my mind Em I’m 48 years now I’m still sitting here C Little hard to breath when I’m thinking of her Em D Dont know why, but she’s on my mind
