C          Am        G                 C
When I was born they said I could have died.
   C          Am          G           C
My father did weep and my mother, she cried.
F           C          G         C
Although my lungs were withered inside,
Am          G       C       C
A two pound boy was alive.


C           Am    G           C
Many months later I was taken home,
     C           Am           G          C
To a nice little house where I mended my bones.
        F          C             G             C
I would sit in the tree that once bordered the road,
         Am        G            C       C
Watch the world as it turned so slow.


C         Am        G             C
Once I was seven we packed up our things,
    C         Am          G          C
And moved to PA where the setting sun brings,
   F          C           G           C
The beauty of life to the valleys and springs,
        Am           G              C     C
And the sound of the partridge does ring.


C         Am            G         C
As I grew older my life doubled in size,
    C          Am                  G                C
The tops of the hills arched their backs towards the skies.
       F          C          G             C
ā??Cause nature you know, does sink and does rise,
        Am         G          C       C
Like the ocean, so old and so wise.


C  Am             G               C
I remember when I played my first show,
    C        Am               G            C
The music pulsated with those in the front row.
F                  C          G              C
Spring claimed the air as the clouds hung so low,
      Am      G       C      C
ā??In a year, a year or soā?.


C              Am    G             C
Sometimes when I lie awake late at night,
  C         Am                   G              C
I watch the shadows that trickle from the house light.
    F              C              G            C
The patterns move slow like those born without sight,
         Am         G            C       C
When you sleep your life seems so bright.


C            Am              G             C
Now that Iā??ve grown up, Iā??ll soon leave my home,
    C          Am               G          C
And pack up the pictures of the ones I did know.
    F         C          G         C
Iā??ll never forget all the places I roamed,
      Am          G             C       C
Pennsylvania, the love you have shown.


F        C              G         C
I do not know if God is real or a lie,
Am                  G        C
But oh well, I thank God Iā??m alive.
