Andrew Peterson – After All These Years (Guitar)

G                                     C
After all these years I would have thought

                                 G
That all my fears were laid to rest

        C          D
But I still get scared

         G
And I thought that all my struggles would be

C                    D     G
Victories by now but I confess

          C         D
That the mess is there

     Em              B
But oh, I know the work that you began

       A                C
Is coming to an end someday,

                    G G C D
After all these years

      G
Well, after all this time

                   C
I thought that the rhythms and the rhymes

           G
Would come so easy

              C        D
But it's still so hard

         G                      C
It's the same twelve notes, six strings,

                     G
And a million little mysteries

           C         D
And one broken heart

    Em              B
But oh, there is an everlasting song

    A                    C
I'm gonna sing along someday

                      G                D
'Cause you never let go. You never let go

                  Em                              C
You led me by the hand into a land of green and gold

               G                 D
You never let go. You never let go

                      Em             C
Your love endures forever wherever I go

                  G   D                  G    D    C   D  G  C  D
After all these years that's all that I know. Oh, Oh

G                                 C
From Illinois to Shiloh to The Warren

                         G
To the cliffs at Castle Rock

                  C            D
Well I've been longing for a land

            G                     C
But not everyone who wanders is lost

          D            G
'Cause every road I walk

            C            D
Is in the palm of your hand

Em                 B
Oh, there is a house with many rooms

            A                    C
Where I'm gonna be with you someday

                      G                D
'Cause you never let go. You never let go

                  Em                              C
You led me by the hand into a land of green and gold

               G                 D
You never let go. You never let go

                      Em             C
Your love endures forever wherever I go

                   Em  A C D
After all these years

               G                 D
You never let go, you never let go

                   Em                            C
You led me by the hand into a land of green and gold

               G
You never let go

               D
You never let go

                 Em                               C
Well after the years have gone and I have grown old

                G                   D           Em          C
I'm gonna go home to the arms of a Father who never let me go

                  G  D                   G     D   C
After all these years that's all that I know. Oh, Oh

       D       G    D  C
You never let go. Oh, Oh

       D       G   D   C  D G
You never let go. Oh, Oh
