This song is about the realization that I actually have found my pot-of-gold but I was too busy looking for it to notice.
For So Very Long By Jeff Gilpin
November 9th, 2008
Verse 1
[G]I’ve no need for chasing rainbows
I’ve [C]found my pot of [G]gold
[C]Resting in the [G]comfort of your [D]arms
No [C]need for traveling [G]down
That [D]ever winding [Em]road [D]
I’d [C]rather bask my [G]days [D]in your [Em]charms
Verse 2
I re[G]member way back when
I would [C]play the lotte[G]ry
[C]Buying dream a [G]dollar at a [D]time
But [C]all my hard earned [G]dollars
Would have [D]sure been better [Em]spent [D]
[C]Knowing I [G]needn’t [D]spend a [Em]dime
Chorus
[D]Realizing that I’ve really [Em]made it
[C]Made it to where I wanted [G]for so very [D]long
[D]Didn’t realize for the [Em]long longest time
[C]Having you in my [G]eyes [D]keeps me [Em]strong
Verse 3
Spent [G]hours of time on useless thing
Im[C]portant at the [G]time
[C]Focused on my [G]trivial pur[D]suits
[C]Time that I can[G]not get back
But [D]all that’s in the [Em]past [D]
[C]Putting back on my [G]favorite [D]pair of [Em]boots
Verse 4
[G]Days and nights turned into years
And [C]years to decades [G]too
My [C]vision of [G]what’s been here so [D]long
A [C]careworn smile, or [G]familiar phrase
That [D]always warms the [Em]heart [D]
[C]Happiness right [G]here where [D]I be[Em]long
Chorus
[D]Realizing that I’ve really [Em]made it
[C]Made it to where I wanted [G]for so very [D]long
[D]Didn’t realize for the [Em]long longest time
[C]Having you in my [G]eyes [D]keeps me [Em]strong
