Great song which I first heard from the Acoustic Live album and it s that version
i tried to figure out.
I think I got it fairly good, but it s by ear so it might be errors...
It s the same chords through the whole song. Listen to it to get the right tempo and feeling.
The chords lining with the text is not perfect, but you ll get the picture
Intro
x2
Verse
I remember your birthday
your first breath out of the womb
we were all crying, you were screaming
it was the most beautiful tune
God needed mother in heaven
suddenly it was just you and I
I felt so shattered and useless
if not for you, I d have surely died
Yeah it s a mountain when life changes forever
your mom s love was such I felt erased
but someone had to feed and love you
though overwhelmed I did it face to face
Chorus
Yeah we did it face to face
somehow we found enough
that no matter what love, we d have it always
from little on up
Verse
You were reading and writing
before your first day of school
you weren t afraid of the growing
and I felt so proud of you
remember your first boyfriend
knew no man could ever be enough
We talked the whole thing through
we stayed close from little on up
Chorus
Yeah we did it face to face
somehow we found enough
that no matter what love, we d have it always
from little on up
Little on up
x2
Verse
Someday we ll be sittin round in heaven
Mother will smile and say we did good
through the good times, the bad times, and the last times
we loved each other hard as we could
Chorus
Yeah we did it face to face
somehow we found enough
that no matter what love, we d have it always
from little on up
that no matter what love, we d have it always
from little on up Little on up
x2
To spice things up, Nils plays this little riff instead of the C in the beginning
of some Chord sequences:
e|------------|
B|----5h6-5---|
G|----5---5---|
D|----5h7-5---|
A|------------|
E|------------|
Listen to the song to figure it out or just throw it in when ever you like.
Well thats about it, enjoy!
