Chords for The Once - By The Glow of The Kerosene Light @ The Rivoli 20140123

_ _ _ _ _ I remember the time when my granddad and I would sit by the fire at night
and I'd listen to stories of how he once lived
by the glow of the kerosene light
by the glow of the kerosene _ light
He [Em] sent [D#m] my [C#m] dad sent [B] me off to school
[C#] where I learned [C] how to read and [D#] to write
and [E] I'd listen for [B]
hours as I read from [F#] my books
by the [A] glow of the _ [F#] kerosene light
_ [E]
by the glow [B] of the kerosene [D#]
light
[C] _ Your grandma [Am] and I we were [N] wed at sixteen
Lord she was a beautiful [B] sight
and proudly I placed the ring on her hand
by the glow of the kerosene light
by the glow of the kerosene _ light
_ About one year later your daddy was born
and your grandma held my hand so tight
_ Oh I can tell the joy as she brought forth new [G] life
by the glow [C] of the _ kerosene [N] light
by the glow of the _ kerosene light
But having her child it did weaken her soul
she just wasn't up to the fight _ _
and she looked so peaceful as she went to her rest
by the glow of the [C] kerosene light
[Fm] _ [F] by the glow [C] of the _ [F] kerosene _ _ [F#] light
[N] _ Let _ us know the times they were hard
to succeed [C] you and trial [D] your mind _
and sometimes love blooms
[C#]
and [Dm] sometimes _ [A#] dreams die
_ by the glow of the _ [C] kerosene light
_ _ by the glow of the _ kerosene light
_ [D#] by the glow [N] of the _ _ kerosene light _ _ _
