A SONG OF GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY

 

C                 Gm
This  free and fortunate human form
F        C
actually so rare to obtain
C          Gm
if I don’t grasp this golden opportunity
F                    C
will I ever have this chance again
(Chourus)
C       Bb(A#)
kind teacher, my true home
F C
may your blessings to me come
C D            F          C
OM   AH  HUNG      OM   AH  HUNG   x2

this life will change like autumn clouds
birth and death are everyone’s dance
life crashes like a river downhill
a lightning spark in the sky’s expanse
(Chourus)

‘cause when time’s up even a king must go
neither wealth nor friends can follow
but for us wherever we stay or go
our karma comes with us like our own shadow
(Chourus)

thus the six realms of living beings
with foolish craving for the unreal
are constantly tied to the scary go round
that is spinning like a potter’s wheel
(Chourus)
C       Bb(A#)
kind teacher, my true home
F C
may your blessings to me come
C D            F          C
OM   AH  HUNG      OM   AH  HUNG   x2
