                 Song For The Life
             (As performed by Jerry Jeff Walker)
 
 Waltz Time
 Intro: D  D/C#  Bm  Bm/A  G  A  D
 
          D                D/C#           Bm    Bm/A   G        A              
   D      A
 Well I don't drink as much as I ought to,      Lately it just ain't my style.
 
         D                        D/C#                   Bm   Bm/A             
  G               A                 D
 And the hard times don't cut, like they used to.       They pass quicker like 
 when I was a child.
 
 
 
 Chorus:
 
        G              A                   D                 G                 
 A           Bm     Bm/A
 And somehow I learned how to listen, to the sound of the sun dying down.
 
 G                    A                   D     G      D                D/C#   
      Bm     Bm/A
 Knowing in the morning I'll be singing,  A song for this life I have found,
       
   G                             A                D
 You know it keeps my feet on the ground.
 
 
              D                D/C#          Bm    Bm/A    G                   
   A                           D       A   
 Well the midsummer days sit so heavy,   they don't flow like the breeze 
 through your mind.
 
          D         D/C#        Bm   Bm/A     G           A                 D
 when nothing feels in a hurry,        you make up for some ol' lost time.
 
 
 Chorus
