Mischief Brew Old Tyme Mem'ry
Intro: D G Bm A G D A x2
DWhen father bought the Gfarm, we sold the Bmfarm
Mistook his Ablood for rustic Gcharm
Sold his Dghost as an Aantique to the city
DKids tGoday can't hold a Bmspade, rest in Apeace your weary Gtrade
In this Dworld there is no Aplace, such a pity
DThe barman shakes his Ghead and fills my Bmglass
Says we're Aliving in the Gpast
Why Dpreserve a dying Acraft and it's misery'
DI sigh and Gsay "another modern Bmman,
One of pAroperty, not Gland"
So I hold Dout this battered Ahand
Will you listen'
(Chorus)
Come sit doDwn, we're laGmenting
About yBmesterday's sad Aending
About the Gwater in me Dwhiskey
And the Abrass passed off as gold
Another Dround, we're Gdescending
In to BmOld Tyme AMem'ry
Of a Gday when wood was Dwooden
Silver Asilver, gold was gold
Sweet home was Dhome
G Bm A G D A
*Same chord progression as previous verses is also used for the remaining verses.*
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)
