This is my first time transcribing a song so I don't expect it to be absolutely perfect. You
should be able to get a good idea for how the song goes using these chords.
I hear Darrell Scott using random hammer on's and pull off's surrounding the D chord and Dsus
so feel free to use them interchangeably. Note sure about the proper chord namings so here is
a diagram
Tuning: Standard
Em: 022000 Dsus: xx0230 C: x32010
D/F#: 2x0230 Asus: x02200 B/A: x20010
Gsus: 3x0030 *Asus: xx0450 Am: x02210
For *Asus indication you can slide the Dsus up two frets to the Asus
Either version works for me
[Intro]
Em,D/F#,Gsus, Dsus2,*Asus C,B/A,Am, G/D,D/F#,Em
If I am playing this song solo, I like to use this intro to thicken the sound. The extra Asus indicates
how many times the strings are played in each formation.

[Verse 1]
Em
Dad never started drinking 'til he was thirty-five
C
And once he found the power
He made up for his lost time
Dsus
Go outside and catch a cricket, then unplug the phone
C
Said their singing kept him company
B
When we'd leave him alone
[Verse 2]
Em
Those were days of feeling awkward
Being seventeen and such
C
Hoping I could find some comfort
In a deacon's daughter's touch
Dsus
I'd spend time out in the desert
Feeling lonely with a friend
C
And we'd talk about leaving
B
But it was years before we did
[Chorus]
C G D
Oh the time moves slow
C G D
And you can't go where you want to go
C G D
But, oh the time slips away
Em C D
Day after day, day after day
Day after day
[Intro Chords]
[Verse 3]
Em
Well I found myself a genie
Said she's grant a wish for me
C
And all I had to do for her was love her endlessly
Dsus
So I asked my dad about it and he said
Son, life's a game we play
C
So I closed my eyes, held her and said
B
Take me away
Em
Let's live in a lighthouse on the Maritime shore
C
And we'll hang a wreath to loneliness
Upon our lighthouse door
Dsus
But we never made the ocean, she never followed through
C
She said the day she left
B
You know, I really thought you knew
[Chorus]
Bridge Jam (Use Intro Chords with slight timing variations)
[Verse 4]
Em
Well I went back home to see my dad
And I walked through the door
C
To his photographs of Hank and Johnny
Lying on the floor
Dsus
Hank had a hole shot through his mouth
And Johnny in the head
C
There were crickets in hallway
B
And Dad awake in bed
Em
He was sitting in the darkness
With just a cigarette light
C
Said he went a little crazy
Sometime in the night
Dsus
I never asked him about the pictures
Though it was clear to me
C
He shot 'em for the life
B
And the man he wouldn't be
[Chorus]
C G D
Oh the time moves slow
C G D
And you can't go where you want to go
C G D
But, oh the time slips away
Em C D
Day after day, day after day
Day after day
