A Song For Christina

	  		 


Intro Em7 Cadd9 G D/F# 

verse 1 

    Em7 
I’ll tell you a story  
     Cadd9 
Bout a girl I once knew 
 G 
Who grew up in Jersey 
   D/F# 
But to Cali she flew 
  
         Em7 
We lost touch for a moment 
   Cadd9 
Or maybe a year 
            G 
But always carried her memory 
      D/F# 
Right between both my ears 
  
         Em7 
She was bright, funny 
     Cadd9 
Always wanted the best 
    G 
Put a smile in my history 
      D/F# 
And I said for she left... 
  
              Am                  C     D* 
There will be time to catch up with you 
Am                      Em*                C 
maybe over coffee, or a quick bite to eat, when you’re 22 

N.C.    
So I’ll 
G  
Take a little moment to say I really really miss you and  
Cadd9 
I’ll be really honest you were never one I thought we’d lose 
So I’ll 
G 
I’ll take another moment to say I really really miss you and 
Cadd9 
Now we really can’t undo the time we could of should of used  
        Am            Em*    C      D* 
so I’ll tell mom and dad I love them 
       Am            Em* 
Cause forever’s not far  
              C         G 
If tomorrow’s not coming 

  
verse 2 

      Em7 
You would ask for advice  
     Cadd9 
On who you should date 
       G                   D/F# 
I said ricky might be immature for his age 
  
      Em7                   Cadd9 
I remember how hard it was for you to grow up 
      G                  D/F# 
Everyone had opinions on how you should look 
  
           Em7 
They said cut off your bangs  
      Cadd9 
And wear shorter skirts 
       G 
But through the seasons of change 
           D/F# 
You never forgot what you're worth 

Bridge 

   Am         Em* 
A heart of a woman  
     C            D* 
And faith like a child 
       Am          Em* 
I bet heaven is loving you  
      C               D*   
I bet you make Jesus smile. 

N.C.    
So I’ll 
G  
Take a little moment to say I really really miss you and  
Cadd9 
I’ll be really honest you were never one I thought we’d lose 
So I’ll 
G 
I’ll take another moment to say I really really miss you and 
Cadd9 
Now we really can’t undo the time we could of should of used  
        Am            Em*    C      D* 
so I’ll tell mom and dad I love them 
       Am            Em* 
Cause forever’s not far  
              C         G 
If tomorrow’s not coming 

  Am              Em*           C 
Christina, your life was worth living 

N.C.    
So I’ll 
G  
Take a little moment to say I really really miss you and  
Cadd9 
I’ll be really honest you were never one I thought we’d lose 
So I’ll 
G 
I’ll take another moment to say I really really miss you and 
Cadd9 
Now we really can’t undo the time we could of should of used  
        Am            Em*    C      D* 
so I’ll tell mom and dad I love them 
Am       Em*         C 
Cause life is worth living 
Am      Em*         C 
Yeah life is worth living
