Intro: D G Bm A G D A x2
G
When father bought the farm, we sold the farm
Bm
A
Mistook his blood for rustic charm
G
D
Sold his ghost as an antique to the
A
city
D G Bm A
Kids today can’t hold a spade, rest in peace your weary trade
G D A
In this world there is no place, such a pity
D G
The barman shakes his head and fills my glass
A D
Says we’re living in the past
D G Bm A
Why preserve a dying craft and it’s misery?
G D A
I sigh and say “another modern man,
D G Bm A
One of property, not land”
D G Bm
So I hold out this battered hand
A
Will you listen?
(Chorus)
G
Come sit down, we’re lamenting
G
About yesterday’s sad ending
G
About the water in my whiskey
G A
And the brass passed off as gold
G
Another round, we’re descending
G
In to Old Tyme Mem’ry
Bm
G
Of a day when wood was wooden
G A
Silver silver, gold was gold
D
G Bm G D A
Sweet home was home
D G Bm G D A
