Old Tyme Mem'ry-Erik Petersen(Mischief Brew)
Intro: C F Am G F C G x2
When father bought the farm, we soFld the farm
Am
Mistook his blood for ruGstic charm
F
Sold his ghost Cas an antique to the
Gcity
CKids today can’t hold a sFpade,Am rest in peace your wearGy trade
FIn this woCrld there is no pGlace, such a pity
CThe barman shakes his head and Ffills my glass
Says we’rGe living in thCe past
CWhy Fpreserve a Amdying craft and it’Gs misery?
FI sigh and Csay “anotheGr modern man,
COne of Fproperty, not Amland”G
CSo I hold Fout this Ambattered hand
Will you lGisten?
(Chorus)
Come sit doFwn, we’re lamenting
About yesteFrday’s sad ending
About theF water in my whiskey
And the brass FpassGed off as gold
Another rouFnd, we’re descending
In to Old TFyme Mem’ry
Am
Of a day wheFn wood was wooden
Silver silFver, Ggold was gold
C
SFweet Amhome Fwas ChoGme
C F Am F C G
*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)
