A great big bang and dinosaurs

Parts of me were made by you

Time leaves no fruit on the tree

Sounds great but I hear a few other chords in there too: Verse: G - G7 | C - Cm | Em | A | Chorus: C | G | Am | D

I believe the last verse's lyrics are as follow:"And when the pastor asks the pewsfor reasons he can't marry youI'll keep my word in my seat"Leading the listener to believe he is at the woman's wedding that he loved, and he is letting her be happy with the man she is marrying rather than him standing up and objecting to the marriage.

Sounds great! It sounds to me like he does some walk downs to 7th's on a few of the chords, but either way, you rocked this tab and cranked it out in a hurry. Thanks, man!
