[Intro]
Am Dm Am
[Verse 1]
C G Dm F
Got her legs crossed at her ankles and her purse down by her feet
C G F
She takes a look around and wonders how this came to be
C G Dm F
The boy that's there beside her, spittin' image of the man
C G F F
Who carried all the weight and built this house with his two hands
[Chorus 1]
F G
In forty-some-odd years she never had to sleep alone
C G Am
It's been three years in November, she still ain't bought a stone
C G Dm F
Said "I used to be a lover but I still feel like a wife"
C G F F
That's the way that it goes in the game of death and life
[Verse 2]
C G Dm F
A father always tries to treat a boy just like a man
C G F
And he saw his had a way to work through life with his two hands
C G Dm
He knew that he was dying but before his days were done
C G F F
After he said all his goodbyes he asked one more thing of his son
[Verse 3]
F G
Well his old man died in April and he went to build a box
C G Am
Every nail and every board was a tear that never dropped
C G Dm F
Then he had a baby boy born on the same day as his dad
C G F F
So he took his name to give him, it's the best thing that he had
[Chorus 2]
F G
Souls, they move in circles as the generations pass
C G Am
And the old ones hold the young as though the time will never last
C G Dm F
And the dusk leads to the dawn as the darkness brings us light
C G F
That's the way that it goes in the game of death and life
[Instrumental]
F C G Dm F C G F C G Dm F C G F
[Verse 4]
C G Dm F
All the children at the graveyard, they're just jumping over rocks
C G F
And they're reading all the names on all the cemetery plots
C G Dm F
They're soaking up the sun and wondering how it feels to die
C G F F
That's the way that it goes in the game of death and life
[Chorus 3]
F G
Souls, they move in circles as the generations pass
C G Am
And the young ones hold the old like it's the only thing they have
C G Dm F
The dusk leads to the dawn as the darkness brings us light
C G F
That's the way that it goes in the game of death and life
C G F
That's the way that it goes in the game of death and life
C G F Dm F
That's the way that it goes ............
