[G] [D]
I knew this place, I knew it [C] well, every [G] sound and every [C] smell.
And every [G] time I walked I fell [A] for the first two [D] years or so.
[G] There across [D] the [G] grassy yard, [C] I, a young [G] boy running [C] hard,
Brown and [G] bruised and battle scarred [D] and lost in [G] sweet illusion.
From my window [D] I [C] can see the fingers of [G] an ancient tree
[C]
Reaching [G] out it calls to me [A] to climb its surly [D] branches.
[G] But all my [D] climbing days are gone [C] and these tired legs [G] I'm standing on
[C] Would scarcely [G] dare to leave the [Am] spot upon [D] which they are standing.
[D] And I remember every [C] word from every [G] voice I ever [C] heard,
Every [G] frog and every [Am] bird, yes, this is where it [D] starts.
[F#m] [G] My father's laugh, [D] the sighing [C] wind, this is [G] where my life begins.
[C]
This is where [G] I learn to use [D] my hands and hear [G] my heart.

[G] And this house is old, [D] it carries on [C] like lyrics to [G] an old time [C] song.
Always [G] changed but never gone, [Am] this house will stand the [D] seasons.
[G] And our lives pass [D] on from door to [C] door, dust across [G] the wooden floor.
[C]
Feather rain [G] and thunder roar, [D] we need not [G] know the reason.
[D] And all these thoughts come [A] back to me [C] like ships [G] across a friendly sea,
[C] Like breezes [G] blowing endlessly, [Am] like rivers [D] running deep.
[G] The day is done, [D] the lights are [C] low, and the wheels of [G] life are turning slow.
[C] And as these [G] visions turn and go, [D] I lay me down to [G] sleep.
And I knew this place, [D] I knew it [C] well, every sound [G] and every smell.
