Title:

“Checkered Past”

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
Am G F C
I’ve walked a road, in shoes worn thin,
Lived my life, in a world of sin,
Stood strong, against the raging storm,
In the eye of chaos, where hearts are torn.

(Chorus)
Dm Em F C
Checkered past, I’m leaving behind,
Looking for peace, that I hope to find,
In the mirror, I see a new man,
Chasing dreams, doing all I can.

(Verse 2)
Am G F C
With a guitar in hand, and a song in heart,
This tight purchaser, has made a start,
Every note, every strum, tells a tale,
A melody set, on an endless sail.

(Chorus)
Dm Em F C
Checkered past, fading away,
In the music, I find my sway,
In the rhythm, I find my soul,
This tight purchaser, has found his role.
