Tom: G

             G                   
 With the twilight colors falling
             G                   
 And the evening laying shadows
                                          D
 Hidden memories come stealing from my mind
                D
 As I feel my own heart beating out
          D
 The simple joy of living
                                G 
 I wonder how I ever was that kind
      G 
 But the wild road I was rambling
             G 
 Was always out there calling
                                               D7
 And they said a hundred times I should have died
              D7
 Then you reached down and touched me
                 D7
 And lifted me up with you
                                                     G 
 So, I believe they were roads that I was meant to ride


               C             D            G
 I'm like a soldier getting over the war  
           C               D7      G         
 Like a young man getting over his crazy days
        C               D7              Em  
 Like a bandit getting over his lawless ways
 C                D7               G
 I don't have to do that any more  
               C             D7         G
 I'm like a soldier getting over the war


             G       
 There were nights I don't remember
                      G       
 And there's pain that I've forgotten
                                  D
 Other things I choose not to recall
              D
 There are faces that come to me
                    D
 In my darkest secret memory
                                G 
 Faces that I wish would not come back at all
                G 
 But in my dreams parade of lovers
                  G 
 From the other times and places
                                          D7
 There's not one that matters now, no matter who
                  D7
 I'm just thankful for the journey
                    D7
 And that I've survived the battles
                                 G 
 And that my spoils of victory are you


               C             D            G
 I'm like a soldier getting over the war  
           C               D7      G         
 Like a young man getting over his crazy days
        C               D7              Em  
 Like a bandit getting over his lawless ways
 C              D7                   G
 Every day gets better than before   
               C             D7         G
 I'm like a soldier getting over the war
