Those are the riffs for the song. Here are the chords.
[E]A long time ago / I turned to myself / And said,â[A]??you are my daughterâ??
[E]I saw that the image / I saw there was well, / â[A]??so you are my daughterâ??
[B]Well then maybe weâ??ve got / Something t[E]o talk about.
[E]Who told you so? / That gold burns slow / [A]Like coal camperâ??s candles / All lost in the snow
[E]Lay down your arms / The war that Iâ??m weaving [A]/ Is for you alone [E]/ Oh [B]/ Oh
[E]Up on the sun where it never rains or snows / [D]Thereâ??s an ocean / With a wind that never blows
[E]And if you see it closer / Then the finer points will show
[B]Not too much more / [E]Too much [A]more / [B]Not too much more / [E]Too much [A]More
