A Place In The Sun Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]For thirty some odd [C]years he faced
a grinder in the city
[D]Hustlin' day in day out just
[C]tryin' to survive
He bought his wife the finer things and sent
his kids [D]to collage
That always took [G]what little
bit he tried to [Dm]put aside
But through it all he had one thing
that seemed to keep him going
A dream that someday he could
leave this city life behind
I watched his hair turn thin and gray, but
his dream never faded
He told [G]me all about it, at least a
thousand times
He always wanted,
a place out in the country
Where the [Dm]birds sing,
in the morning and the grass is emerald green
[G]A place where,
he could feel the mornin' [D]sunshine
And sit out in the evenin',
[C]where the air is fresh and[D] clean
It took lots of overtime to keep his wife
up [Dm]with the Jonses
And more to get his son out of his
run- ins with the law
The more it took the more he
gave, never once complaining
I don't know how he ever
stood the pressure [G]of it all
I never thought he'd make
it, but he finally left the city
And [Dm]now he's got that special little
[G]place [D]to call his own
Today I took a ride out in
the country just to see him
It [C]wasn't hard to [D]find because [Bb]his name was on
[Eb]the stone[Dm]
[Gm][Bb]
[Eb][Dm]
[Gm][Dm]
[G]He [Dm]always wanted,
a place out in the country
Where the birds sing, in the morning and
the grass is emerald green
A place where,
he could feel the mornin' sunshine
And sit out in the evenin',
[G]where the air is fresh and clean
He always wanted,
a place out in the country
Oh where the birds sing,
[Dm]in the morning a[G]nd
[D]the[C] grass
[D]
is [C]emerald [D]gre[Dm]en
[D]
