Life's Little Moments By Jeff Gilpin


July 21st, 2007




Intro


[E] [B] [A] [E]




Verse 1


What a [B]day


The [A]sky is so blue and just [E]being with you


Makes me [B]smile


If [A]only I could I’d [E]keep it I would


To look [B]back on


On those [A]days that aren’t so[E] good


When I [A]feel misunder[E]stood


I’d [A]save it for those [E]days if I [B]could




Verse 2


Happiness


It [A]comes and it goes I guess [E]everyone knows


What it [B]means


It [A]brightens the day even [E]if skies are grey


When it’s [B]missing


[A]Life is less clear but the [E]ones you hold dear


Hold the [A]place where it [E]hides


So [A]let them in[E]side


And [A]happiness will [E]always be [B]near





Chorus


[A]Life’s little [E]moments are like [B]pictures


[A]Each one [E]precious in their own [B]way


[A]Keep each [E]memory so when[B]ever you want


[D]You can go re[A]visit [E]each and every [B]day




Verse 3


Memories


They’re like [A]doors to the past [E]that I hope will last


Until I’m [B]ancient


And a[A]bout in the grave [E]I hope I can save


My life’s [B]moments


For a [A]smile or a grin or a [E]tear at the end


I’ll take the [A]good and the [E]bad


The [A]happy and the [E]sad


It’ll [A]all taste sweet [E]looking back where I’ve [B]been




Chorus


[A]Life’s little [E]moments are like [B]pictures


[A]Each one [E]precious in their own [B]way


[A]Keep each [E]memory so when[B]ever you want


[D]You can go re[A]visit [E]each and every [B]day

Hi Jeff,

I must be going through a 'rock' phase at the moment as that is how I played this. Quite fast, heavy and with muting to emphasise the beat. A happy song that I enjoyed playing.

Thank you,

Roger

Re: Life's Little Moments

Hey Roger, I played it in a slow bluesy beat. I love that  A E B progression . Nice song Jets.

......Badeyed.

one caper after another

Re: Life's Little Moments

Thanks guys - I agree, fast rocking or slow and bluesy it sounds good either way. I've used the same chords in a more traditional blues song and thought I'd try it different this time.
