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
