Solo
E A B7 3
Verse 1
E
It was a brief encounter
E
As I remember
A E
In a summer not long ago
B
We'd just hit town
B E
My buddy's little band and me
E
It was a homecoming show,
E
And those in the know,
E A E
Came to listen to the Prodigal Son.
B
The fieldhouse was jammed,
N.C. E
It sure was the place to be.
Verse 2
E
From the backstage crowd
E
Walking quiet and proud
E A E
Came a man that he wanted to see
B
A few of them left,
B E
And I went out to find a beer
E
I knew that a talk and even a walk
E A E
Would stoke and old memory or two
B
I came back in,
B E
They were in the corner talking low
N.C.
I heard the old man he said:
Chorus 1
A E
Sing me a old song,
E A
Like your mother and I used to do
A E
Take me away, help me learn to dream again
E A E
Of the times you were home
E Ab A
And the kids you would run and play
A B7 E
Sing me a song before the memories all lift away
Verse 3
E
Then we did our show
E
And it was time to go
E A E
And the men were all gathered around
B E
We were all ready, me and Steve and all the boys
E
As we loaded the bus, it was time to discuss
E A
If we'd ever be back again
B E
I said "you'd better" and wondered if we ever would
Verse 4
E
The old man was fine, he had a good time
E A E
But it was hand shakin' time again
E B
I could see in his eyes,
B E
This wouldn't be an easy thing
E
Like all fathers and sons
E
They were just like the ones
E B E
That hate to see drifting apart
E B
His dad said come back,
B E
Maybe we can do this again
Chorus 2
E A E
And you can sing me and old song
E Ab A
Like your mother and I used to do
A E
Take me away, help me learn to dream again
E A E
Of the times you were home
E Ab A
While the kids you would run and play
A B E
Sing me a song boy before the memories all walk away
Bridge
E A E
Now the truth can stand unbroken
E A
Once the love has come to light
A E
But the words are so mis-spoken
E A B
And the songs can make it right
Chorus 3
E A E
And you can sing me and old song
E Ab A
Like your mother and I used to hear
A E
Take me away, help me learn to dream again
E A E
Of the times you were home
E A
While the kids you would run and play
A B E
Sing me a song boy before the memories all walk away
A B E
Sing me a song boy before the mamories all wash away
