The Handsome Family - Back in my day

We had m^Caps that unfolded b^Cmack in my day You could dr^Gink from the river We had g^Emods made of clay There were m^Cile-high glaciers, no l^Cmocks on the doors The st^Gars burned brighter We never c^Dounted past four And the b^Cirds were always watching There were m^Cmonsters in the sea We wore w^Gatches on our wrists There were gh^Dosts in the trees

^EmWay back in the days, you're too y^Coung to have seen, When the n^Gights were darker, l^Donger and deep

There w^Cas no time or space when ^CmI was growing up We had s^Gummer all winter The m^Emoon rose with the sun And m^Cusic sounded better Re^Cmcorded on rings of ice And as the s^Gongs turned to water we c^Douldn't help but cry

^EmWay back in the good days, the ^Cones you didn't see, When e^Gverything was better, d^Darker and deep
