Lyrics

Gone Too Soon (Partial capo on second fret 5,4,3,2,1) in E

D G D A
We come in here through the pouring rain, or a foot of snow.
When the work week makes us numb from head to toe.
A smile or a wave or a punch in the arm or the lilt of a fiddler's tune
Helps us smile and raise a glass to those who’ve gone too soon.

Chorus
G A Bm - A - G
So raise a glass for the ones still living in this room.
G A Bm - A - G
We must carry on when the new day starts.
G A Bm - A - G
Then raise a glass to the ones who left a hole in our hearts,
G - A D
Gone too soon. Gone too soon. Gone too soon.


This toast can be a candle in the darkness deep.
Courage can be found in the company we keep.
Share your laughter and your tears. You are safe in this room.
So raise a glass for all of those gone too soon.

Chorus
G A Bm - A - G
So raise a glass for the ones still living in this room.
G A Bm - A - G
We must carry on when the new day starts.
G A Bm - A - G
Then raise a glass to the ones who left a hole in our hearts,
G - A D
Gone too soon. Gone too soon. Gone too soon.


(last time vamp on Gone too soon.)
