A Tale By Jeff Gilpin
November 28th, 2008
Verse 1
[D]Once upon a time there [Am]lived a little boy
[C]Perfectly con[G]tented with his [D]life
[D]Never had to want [Am]for a single thing
[C]Never had one [G]moment of [D]strife
[G]He didn’t know the world or the [D]troubles he would face
The [C]day he would be a grown up [D]man
But [G]ready or not life [D]finally would arrive
[C]Maybe much more [G]life than he could [D]stand
Verse 2
[D]In a far off land there [Am]lived a little girl
[C]In a farming [G]village in the [D]hills
[D]She learned early on how to [Am]work and got so strong
Still [C]life to her was [G]full of endless [D]thrills
[G]For all her life [D]she had always wanted
To [C]see what lay beyond all her valleys [D]low
The [G]rest of the world that [D]held such mystery
She [C]made her plans that [G]one day she would [D]go
Verse 3
The [D]boy’s now all grown up but in a [Am]world that’s far from simple
With res[C]ponsibili[G]ties he’s learned to [G]bear
He [D]thinks about those days when he [Am]never thought about
[C]Surviving in a [G]world that’s never [D]fair
But [G]be it fair or not what is [D]needed what you want
De[C]cisions he seems to weigh constant[D]ly
What [G]will the future hold on the [D]days of frigid cold
[C]Worried about what [G]is and what’s to [D]be
Verse 4
The [D]girl enters his life and her [Am]views seem to infect
His [C]worried ways of [G]concerns full of [D]fear
[D]Learning always learning what you [Am]never knew about
Leaves [C]little time for a [G]life without [D]cheer
[G]Learning what to do [D]when it seems that you’re
Al[C]ready at the end of your [D]rope
[G]The relief it gives just to [D]be inquisitive
Is [C]relief that brings you [G]joy and helps you [C]cope [G] [D]
