Every time I get anywhere around the [D] Philly Folk Festival, I [N] can't help but think about Steve Goodman.
He's around every corner when I get over here, [E] you know.
[A]
[B] [F#] It seems like he was at every party every [E] night [D] when we come down [A] here and playing in
[Bm] [A] everybody's bedroom, the [F#] guitar of course.
[E]
[A] This is [F#] a song Steve and I used to do [Bm] together.
He had a [C#] way of picking the guitar [G] on this song [E] [Bm] that made it sound like I was playing
the good [D] part.
Not [E] so.

Of my childhood [E]
souvenirs
[D#] [B]
Memories, they [E] can't be bought [B] They can't be won and carved [E] so great
[B] Well it took me years to get [E] those souvenirs [A] And I don't know how they slipped away [B] from me
[E] Broken [A]

hearts and [A] dirty windows
[B] Made life difficult [E] to see
That's why last night and [A] this morning
[B] Always looked the same [E] to me
And I ain't read no [A] love letters For [B] they always bring [E] me tears
I can't forgive the ways of [A] robbing
[B] Of my sweetheart
[E] souvenirs
[F#m] [B]
Memories, they can't be [E] bought They [B] can't be won and carved so [E] great
[B] Well it took me years [E] to get those souvenirs [A] And I don't know how they slipped away from [B] me
