TRACK 3 - Back in My Day
[INTRO]
Em C G D
[VERSE 1]
We had mCaps that unfolded
bCmack in my day
You could drGink from the river
We had gEmods made of clay
There were mCile-high glaciers,
no lCmocks on the doors
The stGars burned brighter
We never cDounted past four
And the bCirds were always watching
There were mCmonsters in the sea
We wore wGatches on our wrists
There were ghDosts in the trees
[CHORUS]
EmWay back in the days,
you're too yCoung to have seen,
When the nGights were darker,
lDonger and deep

[VERSE 2]
There wCas no time or space
when CmI was growing up
We had sGummer all winter
The mEmoon rose with the sun
And mCusic sounded better
ReCmcorded on rings of ice
And as the sGongs turned to water
we cDouldn't help but cry
[CHORUS]
EmWay back in the good days,
the Cones you didn't see,
When eGverything was better,
dDarker and deep

I stCood there in that field of dGirt
Thinking Emonly of those lAmittle hCooves
Trotting circles in the dGark
