Vince Gill - Key To Life


Capo 2 - For finger picking

C                               F
I'd love to hear my daddy play once again
         C                           G
All the songs taught me when I was a kid
C                          F
John Henry, old shep, and faded love
C                    G7         C
I fall to pieces and on the wings of a dove


Just a few chords on the banjo that was all he new
But in the eyes of a child man his fingers flew
I practiced and I practiced til I got it right
I packed up everything and just took off one night


I made it from the beer joints to the opry stage
He said the only difference was what your gettin paid
He didn't care that everybody knew my name
He said it's all for nothing if you don't stay the same


And when he died the preacher cried and said he's the lucky one
He's walking hand and hand with god's only son
My faith and common sence tell me the preachers right
But I'd love to hear the banjo ring for me tonight

       F                           C
I will honor my father with these words I right down
       F                            C            G
And as long as I remember him he'll always be around
        C                               F
Man the pain of losing him cuts like a randle knife
      C                           G7            C
But I learned a few chords on the banjo was the key to life

Yeah the pain of losing him cuts like a randle knife
But I learned a few chords on the banjo was the key to life
