The Living Years Chords / Audio (Transposable):

 
Intro
  Ab   Ab   Db   Dbsus   Db    
 Woah  Wo---ah

Verse 1
Ab               Db
Every generation blames the one before
    Ab                             Db                Dbsus Db
And all of their frustrations come beating on my door
  Bbm
I know that I'm a prisoner, to all my father held so dear
  Db
I know that I'm a hostage to all his hopes and fears
       Eb                          Db             Ab
I just wish I could have told him, in the living years

Chorus
       Ab            Db    
Say it loud,  say it clear
        Bbm       Eb          Ab    
You can listen as well as you hear
         Ab            Db  
It's too late  when we die
     Bbm          Eb         Ab   
To admit we don't see eye to eye

Verse 2
Ab                             Db
Crumpled bits of paper, filled with imperfect thought
Ab                           Db                       Dbsus Db
Stilted conversations, I'm afraid that's all we've got
    Bbm                         
You say you just don't see it, he says it's perfect sense
    Db            
You just can't get agreement in this present tense
   Eb                             Db           Ab
We all talk a different language talking in defense

[Chorus]

[Intro]

Verse 3
  Ab                                Db
I wasn't there that morning when my father passed away
  Ab                             Db                 Dbsus Db
I didn't get to tell him all the things I had to say
  Bbm                                
I think I caught his spirit later that same year
    Db
I'm sure I heard his echo in my baby's new born tears
       Eb                         Db             Ab
I just wish I could have told him in the living years

[Chorus]

[Intro]

Ending
  Ab   Ab   Db   Dbsus   Db     Ab
 Woah  Wo---ah   in the living years
