The Pipe Song Chords
Brad Butcher:



Capo 2




Verse 1:

Am                                  C
Strike the match one more time he said

Am                                         C
As the old man raised the pipe above his head

Am                                C
Ive Lived my life my lessons learned

             Am                           C
His sundried skin shows his money hard earned

Am                            C
I asked him why he smoked his pipe

                          Am                              C
He paused and thought his answer surley true and it arrived     




Pre Chorus:

Dm                        G
Son I'm not always able to hold my head up high

            Am 
I have lost every single loved one in my life

Dm                                   G
This pipe's the only thing I have to keep me occupied

Am                                      
The truth is I'm to stubborn to appologise

Dm                    G
So as I smoke my days away, I say 




Chorus:

C                Am                           F
Life is a roller coaster and god's collecting tickets at the gate

C                  Am                     F
You've got to keep moving on dont let the wheel slowly deflate

C                          Am                F
When life gets hard and you feel you're not tall enough to ride

C                             F             G            Am
Just know that there's always a place where you can hide




Verse 2:

Am                                              C
Ten years later I lay lifeless on the road

            Am                                  C
Shatterd car window and another name set in stone

Am                                C      
A voice whispered softly in my ear
 
          Am                           C
come with me and the pain will disappear

Am                                  C
I asked the angel was it truly my time

                           Am                              C
she paused and thought her answer surely true and it arrived





Pre Chorus:

Dm                                   G
Son I've watched over you since your mother gave you life

Am
Chewing your finger nails on the sidelines

Dm                             G
Your life is now a lesson that others will learn in time

Am
Life's to short to sit around killing time

Dm                        G
You're done with yesterday so I say



Chorus:

C                Am                           F
Life is a roller coaster and god's collecting tickets at the gate

C                  Am                     F
You've got to keep moving on dont let the wheel slowly deflate

C                          Am                F
When life gets hard and you feel you're not tall enough to ride

C                               F           G            Am
Just know that there's always a place where you can hide




Bridge:

Am                               C
Here we are one more time he said

         Am                              C
It was the old man at a heavens gate ahead

         Am                              C
Did you take my good advice before you died

         Am                              C
I wonder what you learned and I replied




Chorus:

C                Am                           F
Life is a roller coaster and god's collecting tickets at the gate

C                  Am                     F
You've got to keep moving on dont let the wheel slowly deflate

C                          Am                F
When life gets hard and you feel you're not tall enough to ride

C                             F             G            Am
Just know that there's always a place where you can hide
