I wonder if [E] it's raining in [B] the mountains I wonder how [E] the old town looks [B] today
[E] And if the church is there beside [B] the river Could [C#] I go back and find where [F#] Mama lay?
[B] Does life still [E] go to sleep just [B] after sunset?
Hard to bet it's still as big [E] on the mind
Do old men sit and talk [B] about the old days The way they [F#] did in 1949?
