Intro

G C2 F2      



Verse 1

G         C2             F2

 I can remember when the sky was so blue

         G             C2        F

We played cowboys and Indians and can you catch the moon

G            C2                     F2 D

Girl clubs in the treehouse and the boys they had to stay out

         G      C2 A                  F

Wondering what we were doing up there all afternoon



Chorus

Am7         G/B           C2

 Those were the days when life was a little simpler

Am7         G           F2

 Those were the days we didn't have much to say

Am7         G/B              C2

 Those were the days when we looked so forward to winter

   Am7    G               C

And April flowers and the summer rain



Verse 2

G        C2          F2

 We had geese on the front porch 

      G           C2        F

And we had goats in the backyard

F

Daddy was always bringing home a lost soul to free

G               C2                      F2 D

It's funny what you remember in a house made of timber

G          C2 A                F

Six hungry wide-eyed mouths to feed



Verse 3

G         C2            F2

I can remember when the sky was so blue

            G          C2          F

But growing up, it changes, all the things we have to do

G            C2                     F2 D

I'm thankful for the memories no matter where they take me

         G      C2 A                      F

And it's always just a little bittersweet too



Bridge

C                         Gsus4    Dm7         C2 E

 There's no place like home    oh, we had nothing fancy

     Dm7         C/E           Dm7           C2 E

Just welfare and community and stray dogs we loved

                  Gsus4  G F                         C

And buried in the backyard  there's no place like home

       Dm7             C/E           Dm7     C/E

It's a song if there's a melody, survival if no harmony

       Dm7            C/E               Gsus4

It's a choice to make a symphony out of anything at all
