Chords

Standard [Verse 1]
C
Hot sand on toes, cold sand in sleeping bags, 

                       Am
I've come to know that memories

         G
Were the best things you ever had

C
The summer shone beat down on bony backs

                           Am
So far from home where the ocean stood 

        G                C       Am  G
Down dust and pine cone tracks

C
We slept like dogs down by the fire side

                      Am
Awoke to the fog all around us 

      G                 C  Am  G
The boom of summer time
[Chorus]
C
We stood

               G
Steady as the stars in the woods

          C
So happy-hearted

                                    G
And the warmth rang true inside these bones

        Am              G
As the old pine fell we sang

                           C  Am  G
Just to bless the morning.
[Verse 2]
C
Hot sand on toes, cold sand in sleeping bags, 

                       Am
I've come to know the friends around you

    G
Are all you'll always have

C
Smoke in my lungs, or the echoed stone 

                      Am                   G
Careless and young, free as the birds that fly

                  C          Am   G
With weightless souls now.
[Chorus]
C
We stood

               G
Steady as the stars in the woods

           C
So happy-hearted

                               G
And the warmth rang true inside these bones [x2]

        Am               G
As the old pine fell we sang

                           C  Am  G
Just to bless the morning.
[Instrumental] C Am G [Outro]
C
We grow, grow, steady as the morning

               Am    G
We grow, grow, older still

C
We grow, grow, happy as a new dawn

                Am   G
We grow, grow, older still

C
We grow, grow, steady as the flowers

                Am    G
We grow, grow, older still

C
We grow, grow, happy as a new dawn

                Am   G
We grow, grow, older still
C Am G x4 C
