Remember the First Day Promise of Redemption
I've been wanting to learn how to play this song for a while, and I just learned it by
ear. I saw the chords Shane plays live and they seem to match up.
I play mine one half step down (just because I like the sound) so that's why some of the
chord names may be a bit funny to those playing this in standard. (Chords will still
sound good either way)
Chords:
[A] [D] [E]
----- --2-- -----| --2-- --3-- -----| --2-- --2-- --1--| --2-- ----- --2--| ----- ----- --2--| ----- ----- --0--|
F#maj(not sure of name) Csus(name?) C#
----- ----- -----| --2-- ----- -----| --2-- --7-- --7--| --4-- --7-- --7--| ----- --4-- --5--| ----- ----- -----|
(Verse 1)
Well I re[A]member the first day
It was so close to the end of May
It's when I [D]finally opened my eyes
I saw the sun for the first time
Oh and it l[A]ied in the form of a beautiful girl
Who would take me on the [D]ride of my life
And it's j[E]ust something that I've been dying to [D]know
(Chorus)
[F#maj]Well where did you go?
Cause I've been w[D]aiting here so l[A]ong
You know that I've been reading your n[F#maj]otes
They always h[A]inted towards the fact that [D]you were coming home
And as I s[F#maj]truggle with this r[D]eality
That th[A]is is all that's l[E]eft of me
Half of [F#maj]my heart, my mind, and m[D]y body are g[A]one
(Verse 2 - same as verse 1)
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
[A]So let's go back down to the [Csus]bank of that [C#]river where
[A]We can dive right in
And forg[Csus]et about the worries f[C#]rom the world outside
[A]'Cause you know my world, m[Csus]y world's not o[C#]ver
[A]Because I have an [Csus]angel on my [C#]shoulder
(Chorus)
Hope it sounds good!
