Childhood Memories Chords by Iris Dement

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Fireflies inside [Bb] of a mason jar _
[C] Lying back behind the wheel [F] of daddy's car _
[Dm] Playing church around the [Bb] old piano stand
[Gm] You were quite a preacher and [C] always sang so grand
I _
[F] remember every night what we [Bb] would say and do
If [C] you've forgiven me, then [F] I've forgiven you
And [C] now when life [F] begins to [Bb] get less to me
[F] I _ reminisce these childhood memories
We built a raft and traveled [Bb] all around the world
[C] And stopped for penny candy [F] at the corner store
You [Dm] let me fly your kite, but [Bb] then I dropped straight
I [Gm] thought my life was over, but [C] mother rescued me
When [F] I was just a kid, you taught [Bb] my prayers to me
[C] Then you turned around and you told me [F] about those birds and bees _
Come what may, you've [Bb] been kinder to me
[F] Because [C] we share these [F] childhood memories
The _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
time it moved so fast, those [Bb] days are over now _
[C] We've all gone our separate [F] ways, but still somehow
[Dm] I often need to telephone [Bb] and talk to you _
[Gm] See if you remember [C] things the way I do
[F] It won't be too much longer, [Bb] we'll be old and gray
[C] And winding up our travels [F] here on life's pathway
No matter where I roam, I've [Bb] got you here with me
_ _ I'll [D] _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ reminisce these childhood _ memories _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ I'll _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [F] _
reminisce these childhood memories _ _ _ _ _ _
