^DWe were both nine years old when you came to ^D7town I ^Gremember the big Allied ^DVan. ^DMy momma went over and took you all lunch, my ^E7dad gave your dad a ^A7hand.

#2.

And the ^Dfirst time I saw you was through the screen ^D7door, when the ^Gpaper I threw missed the ^Dporch. ^GLord, it's been years since I ^Dcarried the news, but I ^A7still carry the ^Dtorch.

CHORUS:

^DMaple Street memories and cherry tree ^D7games, summer ^Gnights and ice cream ^Dcones. ^DTake the red from the roses, the sun from the ^D7sky, but leave my Maple Street ^A7memories ^Galone. Leave my ^DMaple Street ^A7memories ^Dalone.

^DWe played hide-n-seek in the buildings out ^D7back I was ^Geasy to find I ^Dadmit. ^DAs the years flew away it got harder to hide The ^E7fact I thought you were ^A7it.

#3.

Then we ^Dstood by the Lilac bush in your ^D7yard Your ^Gpink prom gown late in ^DMay Your ^Gmom took our pictures, ^DI took your hand and ^A7you took my breath ^Daway.

CHORUS:

#4.

^DI never go back that I don't stand in the ^D7yard and ^Glook at your window up^Dstairs. ^DIn my mind I see you combing your hair blowing ^E7kisses at me in the ^A7air.

#5.

Then ^Done time at Christmas I saw you come ^D7home, your ^Garms full of children that ^Dday. It was ^Glater that night when I ^Dput mine to bed, I put my ^A7Maple Street memories ^Daway.

OUTRO:

^DMaple Street memories and cherry tree ^D7games. Summer ^Gnights and bicycle ^Dgames. ^DLeave me with something my heart can take, but take those Maple Street ^A7memories ^Gaway ^DTake those Maple Street ^A7memories ^Daway.

An eighties smash from Kraziekhat.
