Old Tyme Mem'ry-Erik Petersen(Mischief Brew)
Intro: D G Bm A G D A x2
When father bought the farm, we soGld the farm
Bm
Mistook his blood for ruAstic charm
G
Sold his ghost Das an antique to the
Acity
DKids today can’t hold a sGpade,Bm rest in peace your wearAy trade
GIn this woDrld there is no pAlace, such a pity
DThe barman shakes his head and Gfills my glass
Says we’rAe living in thDe past
DWhy Gpreserve a Bmdying craft and it’As misery?
GI sigh and Dsay “anotheAr modern man,
DOne of Gproperty, not Bmland”A
DSo I hold Gout this Bmbattered hand
Will you lAisten?
(Chorus)
Come sit doGwn, we’re lamenting
About yesteGrday’s sad ending
About theG water in my whiskey
And the brass GpassAed off as gold
Another rouGnd, we’re descending
In to Old TGyme Mem’ry
Bm
Of a day wheGn wood was wooden
Silver silGver, Agold was gold
D
SGweet Bmhome Gwas DhoAme
D G Bm G D A
*Same chord progression as previous verses is also used for the remaining verses.so just
to the song to get the rhythm and use throughout.*
So you’ve got a new stove in your second home
Runs on gas but looks like oak
Hell, it even gives off smoke and glowing embers
There’s a quilt hung on the wall reads ‘Home Sweet Home’
Below some wise word from Thoreau
And they call me ‘throwback’ when I cry “Remember!”
(Chorus)
And son these tools are artifacts
Endangered species left its tracks
Lock me up behind plastic glass in the city
‘Cos there’s no going back for me
This antique rustic’s eulogy
Shall be sold as folk artistry
Such a pity...
But I’ll never understand
Why they all only use those hands
To build a stead that will always stand in old time country
But settle for white rooms and hollow doors
Paper ceilings, padded floors
Luxury boxes where you’re stored in what was country.
(Chorus Twice)
