Four years of hard work!

This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

There aren't chords for this song anywhere that I can find, so I did it myself.
I've also included a tab for the main guitar riff of the song; it stretches
over multiple chords, so hopefully the way that I notated it is clear enough.

Capo III, all chords (and tab for riff) relative to capo.

[Verse 1]

G [Riff] Em C G
You were the mother of three girls so sweet
G [Riff] Em C G
That stormed through your turnstile and climbed to the street
G [Riff] Em C G
But after conception, your body lay cold
G [Riff] Em C G
And withered through autumn and you found yourself old
D B7
Can you tell me why you have been so sad?

G [Riff] Em C G
He took a lover on a faraway beach
G [Riff] Em C G
While you arranged flowers and chose color schemes
D B7 G C
Can you tell me why you have been so saaad?
D B7 G [Riff]
Can you tell me why you have been so sad?

[Verse 2]

G Am Em D
The girls were all there, they traded their vows
G Am C
The youngest one glared with furrowed brow
G Am Em D
As they tenderly kissed and cut the cake
G Am C
The bride then tripped and broke the vase
G Am Em D
The one you thought would span the years
G Am C
So perfectly placed below the mirror
G Am Em D
Arriving late, you cleaned the debris
G Am C
And walked into the angry scene

Am Em D E
It felt just like falling in love again
Am Em D C
And it felt just like falling in love again
