[Intro]
C
I wish I had a stint in New Orleans
Am G
On the train tracks of my life
Dm F
And I'm glad about that forest
C G
I grew up in with groves of pine
[Verse 1]
C
Well I had a stay in the rain it goes
Am G
From the clouds to where it's dry
Dm F
As I sat and ate that apple
C G
I never wondered, wondered why
G7 C
The months still bring with them some changes
Am G
Some are old and some are new
Dm F
Shimmering gold beams on the pavement
C G G7
Of the streets that I roll through
[Bridge]
Dm E7
If I have to stay by the westerly
Am D7
At the corner of your mind
C Em7 Fm G G7
Well I'll chalk it all up to trouble
[Chorus]
C Em7 Am
Singin' old childhood
C F
Where did you go?
Fm G G7
I like the Summer, but I love to watch it snow, oh to watch it
C Em7 Am
Old childhood
C
What did you do?
F Fm G
The leaves fall in Autumn, but the Springtime's when they bloom
G7 C Dm
Oh, it's when they bloom
[Verse 2]
C
I wish I traveled 'cross the Atlantic
Am G
And saw the lands to which I vail
Dm F
Explored canals down in Venice
C G
Felt the winds on the shore of Whales
G7 C
For now it's roads and peaks in the midwest
Am G
Rivers flow in Texas too
Dm F
Pedal far across the southland
C G G7
Junipero Sierras' dew
[Bridge]
Dm E7
And if it's true that Massachu...
Am Am7 D7
setts was the best in my life
C Em7 Fm G
Well I'll chalk it all up to trouble
Am D7
And strife
C Em7 Fm G G7
Well I'll chalk it all up to trouble
[Verse 3]
C
I wish I had a stint in New Orleans
Am G
But I like to think it's true
Dm F
That if I had that stint in New Orleans
C G G7
I might never have met you
[Bridge]
Dm E7
And when I have to stay by the westerly
Am7 D7
At the corner of your mind
F C G Dm
Well New Orleans aint coming to mind, to mind
F C G G7
Well New Orleans aint coming to mind
[Chorus]
C Em7 Am
Singin' old childhood
C F
Where did you go?
Fm G G7
I like the Summer, but I love to watch it snow, oh to watch it
C Em7 Am
Old childhood
C
What did you do?
F Fm G
The leaves fall in Autumn, but the Springtime's when they bloom
G7
Oh, it's when they
[Outro]
Dm E7
And if it's true that Massachu...
Am Am7 D7
setts was the best in my life
C Em7 Fm G Am7
Well I'll chalk it all up when I get home in time
