Аккорды Lucy Kaplansky - The Gift

INTRO: G    C  G  D    C  G

                    C
Grandfather came to Canada
       G
With a trade of a different time
  D
A learned man of god
        C              G
He just wasn't worth a dime


                       C
So, mended clothes for pennies
          G
While his children went to school
D
Sang them asleep at night
C                            G
Songs from the Old World and New


CHORUS:
D             G
Ohh, he could sing
    C                  G
Had nothing to leave behind
        D               Em    C
But his voice, gave him wings
      D                      C  G
For a little while, he could fly_ 


INTERLUDE: C  G  D   C G

                      C
There was talk on the radio
        G
About a contest with a prize
D
Cast to the best singer
C                      G
Thought he'd give it a try


                       C
His son could play the piano
    G
And don't you know, they won
D
Paid off some debts
        C             G
And the money was all gone


CHORUS:
D             G
Ohh, he could sing
    C                  G
Had nothing to leave behind
        D               Em    C
But his voice, gave him wings
      D                      C  G
For a little while, he could fly_ 


INSTRUMENTAL: C G  D  C G D  C Em  C    G


              C
Never saw his children grown
       G
He was too young when he died
    D
His son became a scholar
       C            G
Played piano on the side


                    C
When I was young my father played
    G
And I would sing along
D
Songs from the world he knew
        C                  G
And I remember 'most every one



INTERLUDE: D  C G D  C  G

                    C
My voice was passed down to me
G
Through the family line
    D
The gifts that we are given
        C                G
Are the gifts we leave behind
