Chords for Rhonda Blundon - Memories That Last (Album Samples)

_ _ [A] _ [Bm] _ _ [C] Home is where the heart [G] is to every man and child
[C] _ Leave and do what you gotta [G] do but just for a little [D] _ while
_ Take your roots and move away and make a better _ [Em] home
[C] Know that [G] you'll return someday [D] and never more [G] to roam
_ [B] _ _ _
_ _ [E] Many roads I've traveled, _ _ [B] traveled far and wide
_ _ [Gb] Living each step along the way in this [E] lonely [B] life of _ mine
[E] But my heart _ [G] withered, _ battered beaches _ [F] and _ old [C] rugged rocks
_ [G] _ _
Pieces of driftwood _ [F] that broke from the [C] _ dust
My mind takes me back [F] to my home [Dm] far but near
[G] _ From the corners of the country, _ [D] from the cities and [G] the farms
Where [E] the years and [C] years of living tucked [G] up underneath [D] their arms
[Em] They walked away [C] from everything just [G] to see a dream come [C] true
[G] So God bless [D] the boys who made the noise on _ [D] 16th [G] Avenue _
_ _ _ [A] It was then that I wondered how many men have cried
To see a way of [A]
living get discarded like [E] their lives
_ They _ _ have to leave their homeland _ while dying deep [D] inside
_ _ Never more to [A] see again what was brought in by [A] the _ tides
[B] My little [E] home down by the _ sea
I [D] want to go back to [A] my Newfoundland home
To a [D] place I hold so dear _
[D] That little _ house that [A]
stands [Gbm] alone, _ [B] alone so many [E] _ years _ _ _
[Bm] Now her daddy's in the kitchen [D] staring at the [C] windows
Scratching and wrecking [G] his brains
[Em] How could 18 [D] years just up and walk [C] away? _ _
_ [Bm] Our little ponytail [D] girl grown up to be a woman
Now [C] she's gone in the blink of [G] an eye
She left the studs in the [D] bucket and the clothes hanging [G] out on the line
_ _ _ Now you wonder what _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ Mama flew _ away [G] with the _ angels
_ _ _ [D] She drifted off into a better [G] _ _
land
_ _ _ _ [C] God needed just one more _ [G] perfect angel
_ [Em] _ To _ [G] play in [D] his golden guitar [G] _ band
[B] _ _ Campfire [E] coffee _ _ [B] from a tin cup in my hand
_ It [E] sure _ _ warms the fingers _ when it's [B] cold _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Playing _ [E] an old guitar, _ [B] a friend I _ _ [Abm] understand
_ It [Db] sure _ smooths the wrinkles in [Gb] my soul
I _ _ _
_ _ [Eb] wish I could go back [Bb] and change the hands of time
Cause I still love you like when you [F] were _ [G] mine
_ _ [Bb] We could cherish _ those memories [Eb] we built through [Bb] the years
If you love me [F] like when you were [Bb] _ mine _
Just wish you loved me when you [Eb] were _ mine _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
