[Intro]
D
[Verse]
N.C.
A7
We had a garden in the backyard
D
That we planted every spring
A7
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
A7
I was yours and you were all mine
D
We had everything
[Verse]
D A7
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
A7
How you put away her play things
D
And come and lay with me
[Chorus]
A7
But that was years ago
D
Or was it only yesterday
A7
We had it all, you know
D
But that was years ago
[Verse]
D A7
I remember you were so proud
D
When I took them songs to Nashville
A7
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
A7
And like that garden we once planted
D
Love left untended died away
[Chorus]
A7
But that was years ago
D
Or was it only yesterday
A7
We had it all, you know
D
But that was years ago
