[E] [A]
The road was heading southward to a place [E] where I belong
And I wonder if my old mates there sing [A] the same old songs
The countryside was lush and green hadn't changed in [D] all that time
[E] And I'm thinking of long ago and the things I [A] left behind
There was a girl with golden hair, at least it [E] was back then
A kindly old dark gentleman I was proud to [A] call my friend
I see the railway yards, they're not in use, I can barely [D] read the sign
[E] And I'm thinking of days long gone and the things I left [A] behind
[F#m] I [E] [A]
can smell the wood smoke in the air as the old [E] place comes in view
And it looks a little run down now, I recall [A] when it was new
Ah, but someone must have bought the place, there's washing [D] on the line
[E] And it's just another picture of those things I left [A] behind
I believe our life is made up from reality [E] and dreams
And most of us will find ourself somewhere in [A] between
And the question goes unanswered, what life may [D] have been
[E] I'm happy with reality, but it's [A] alright to dream

The sunlight's warming up my bed from my campsite [E] on the ridge
You know we used to come here camping, way back when [A] we were kids
But I'll take a stroll downtown today, I know that [D] I will find
[E] Just a few old remnants of the things I [A] left behind
A girl with golden hair, at least it [E] was back then
A kindly old dark gentleman I was proud to call [A] my friend
But those railway yards, they're not in use, I can barely [D] read the sign
