Years Ago

D# N.C. A#7 We had a garden in the backyard D# That we planted every spring A#7 A new baby and a used car D# A second hand washing machine G# You hung the laundry on the clothes line D# You tied your hair back with a string A#7 I was yours and you were all mine D# We had everything D# A#7 I used to watch you in the kitchen D# Making gravy out of grease A# I know it didn't seem like much then D# But lookin' back it was a feast G# And I remember in the evenings D# After Shandy went to sleep A#7 How you put away her play things D# And come and lay with me A#7 But that was years ago D# Or was it only yesterday A#7 We had it all, you know D# But that was years ago D# A#7 I remember you were so proud D# When I took them songs to Nashville A#7 I started running with a new crowd D# You never changed, and you never will G# I always took your love for granted D# While you were begging me to stay A#7 And like that garden we once planted D# Love left untended died away A#7 But that was years ago D# Or was it only yesterday A#7 We had it all, you know D# But that was years ago
