---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Flashback Blues - John Prine ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
CG While window shopping through the past CF I ran across a looking glass CGC Reflecting moments remaining in a burned out light CG Tragic magic prayers of passion CF Stay the same through changing fashions CGC They freeze my mind like water on a winter’s night
Chorus: D Spent most of my youth G Out hobo cruising D And all I got for proof G Is rocks in my pockets and dirt in my shoes
CG So goodbye nonbeliever CF Don’t you know that I hate to leave here CGC So long babe, I got the flashback blues.
(Repeat Intro)
CG Photographs show the laughs CF Recorded in between the bad times CGC Happy sailors dancing on a sinking ship CG Cloudy skies and dead fruit flies CF Waving goodbye with tears in my eyes CGC Well sure I made it but ya know it was as hell of a trip.
(Repeat Chorus)
CG And ten times what it grieves you CF That’s how much more I hate to leave you now CGC So long babe, I got the flashback blues.
(Repeat intro)
(Repeat chorus)
CG So goodbye nonbeliever CF Don’t you know that I hate to leave here CGC So long babe, I got the flashback blues.
