Tabbed by PJVillanueva
It was written that I would love you
From the moment I opened my eyes
And the morning when I first saw you
Gave me life under Calico skies.
I will hold you for as long as you like
I'll hold you for the rest of my life
Always looking for ways to love you
Never failing to fight at your side
While the angels of love protect us
From the innermost secrets we hide
I'll hold you for as long as you like
I'll hold you for the rest of my life
Long live all of us, crazy soldiers
Who were born under Calico skies
May we never be called to handle
All the weapons of war we despise
I'll hold you for as long as you like
I'll hold you for the rest of my life
I'll hold you for as long as you like
I'll love you for the rest of my ...
For the rest of my life
To match this track you must tune
your guitar a half step down.
