[Intro]

F Bb Dm Bb F Bb Dm C

[Verse 1]

Bb C Dm

Late summer morning on a front porch swing

Bb F

There's a tear in grandmother's eye

Bb C Dm

She's telling me tales of my mother's childhood

Bb C

And how they got by

Bb C Dm

Years of war, years of depression

Bb F

And the hard times they came through

Bb C Dm

She smiles at me and says, "That wisdom,

Bb C

Carries on in you"

[Chorus]

Bb C F Bb

Links in a chain unbroken

C Dm Bb

Words of a prayer unspoken

Gm Dm Bb

Invisible hands reaching through time

Bbsus2 F Bb

We each have a piece of the story

Each have a share in the glory

Gm Dm Bb

And a chance to pass it along to those who remain

Links in a chain

Potlucks in the Parish Hall

Bb C

My parents worked so hard

Bb C Dm

Now it's a marble stone on the edge of town

Where we bow our heads and sing

Forty years, seven children

Bb C

And some well worn wedding rings

[Chorus]

Links in a chain unbroken

Adding our part to the chorus
