CThere are notes that ring eternal
there are Amsongs that will remain
Fmomma sang a song of love
I've carried all my dGays
And I Cfind my own voice singin'
in a vAmoice that I once heard
I Frecognize the feelings
I rGecognize the wCords
[Chorus]
  Emoh,      Am  Emhere it comes aAmgain              
  Emoh,      Am  Fsome things neveGr end
Cthere are things that aren't forgotten
there are Amthings that still remain
Fevents of long ago, now
Gsomehow form a Cchain
[Verse 2]
Cgrandpa cracked a whip down
it's Amstung a long, long time
Fdaddy picked that whip up
cracked that back of Gmine
in a Cmoment high confusion
has Amgot a grip on me
FI wonder how that whip now
Gis in the hand I seCe
[Chorus]
  Emoh,      Am  Emhere it comes aAmgain              
  Emoh,      Am  Fsome things neveGr end
Cthere are scars that aren't forgotten

[Verse 1]

There are notes that ring eternal

there are songs that will remain

momma sang a song of love

I've carried all my days

And I find my own voice singin'

in a voice that I once heard

I recognize the feelings

G C

I recognize the words

[Chorus]

Em Am Em Am

oh, here it comes again

Em Am F G

oh, some things never end

there are things that aren't forgotten

there are things that still remain

events of long ago, now

G C

somehow form a chain

[Verse 2]

grandpa cracked a whip down

it's stung a long, long time

daddy picked that whip up

cracked that back of mine

in a moment high confusion

has got a grip on me

I wonder how that whip now

G C

is in the hand I see

[Chorus]

oh, here it comes again

there are scars that aren't forgotten

there are scars that still remain

events of long ago, now

[Verse 3]

can you find it in your heart?

look into tomorrow

do you stop before you start?

do you find your own voice ringin'

in a voice that you once heard?

do you recognize the feelings?

G C

do you recognize the words?

[Chorus]

Em Am Em Am

oh, here it comes again

Em Am F G

oh, some things never end

there are things that aren't forgotten

there are things that still remain

events of long ago, now

G C

somehow form a chain
