Silver Harmonica Chords

[Intro]
Em D G
 
[Verse 1]
                           Em                    D
When I was a boy I'd spend six weeks each summer
     C                          D
At grandma and granddaddy's farm
     G                      Em         G
With magical mornings and dew covered meadows
     C             D                G
And rainy days out in the barn
                 D             Em          D
Molasses and biscuits with breakfast each morning
C                                 D
Feeding the chicks and the ducks
    G          D          Em            G
Walks to the spring on my grandfather's shoulders
     C     D             G
And riding around in his truck
 
[Pre-chorus]
        Em                       D
And as evening gave way to the starry night
        G              C        D
By the light of the summertime moon
      G          D       Em
He'd take out a silver harmonica
     C         D         G
And play us a couple of tunes
 
[Chorus]
G
He'd play peace in the valley
C            G
And I'd fly away
G
And I'd drift off so happy
    Am           D
In dreams as he played
        G
For it shined like a beacon
        C           Am
And it rang like a bell
      G       Em
That silver harmonica
D    C    D       G
That I loved so well
 
[Verse 2]
                           Em                    D
One evening I asked him while we were at supper
     C                          D
How much was that instrument worth?
     G                      Em         G
He said son it's the key to the treasure of kings
     C             D                G
The most valuable thing on this earth
                 D             Em          D
For the troubles and struggles you'll labor through
C                                 D
In the course of an everyday life
    G          D          Em            G
Make you long for a peaceful and quiet way
     C     D             G
To welcome the coming of night
 
[Chorus]
G
He'd play peace in the valley
C            G
And I'd fly away
G
And I'd drift off so happy
    Am           D
In dreams as he played
        G
For it shined like a beacon
        C           Am
And it rang like a bell
      G       Em
That silver harmonica
D    C    D       G
That I loved so well
 
[Bridge]
     Em        D
But time flys away
     C            D
And loved ones depart
             Em    Am
But the memories stay
     Am             D
Down deep in your heart
 
     G            D            Am     Em    G
And now when the world gets to be too unbearable
    C                  D
And I get too weary to try
   G           D           Em           D
I sit on the steps as the twilight surrounds me
     C             D          G
And watch for the moon in the sky
 
[Pre-chourus]
        Em                       D
And as evening gives way to the starry night
        G            C          D
By the light of the man in the moon
   G              D      Em
I take out this silver harmonica
     C         D         G
And play me a couple of tunes
 
[Chorus]
G
I play peace in the valley
C          G
And I fly away
G
And I drift off so happy
    Am          D
In dreams as I play
        G
For it shines like a beacon
        C            Am
And it rangs like a bell
      G       Em
This silver harmonica
D    C   D      G
That I love so well
 
          D        Em
This old silver harmonica
    C    D      G
That I love so well
