[Intro]
Emaj7 E6 Emaj7 E6 Esus E
[ E - Esus4 - Eadd11 - Esus4 - E ] (twice)
[Verse]
Emaj7 E6
I went back home the other day
Emaj7 E6 Esus E [E - Esus4 - Eadd11 - Esus4 - E]
To see some old friends that I used to know
Emaj7 E6
It was strange to see what all had changed
Emaj7 E6 Esus E [E - Esus4 - Eadd11 - Esus4 - E]
Just like me my hometown had to grow
Emaj7 E6
On lazy Sunday afternoons
Emaj7 E6 Esus E [E - Esus4 - Eadd11 - Esus4 - E]
We used to drive around the neighborhood
Emaj7 E6
But as I looked around I see
Emaj7 E6 Esus E B
That nothing really looks the way it should
[Chorus]
D A E B
There's a parking lot where the church used to be
D A E F#
And the old town drunk changed his ways
D A E B
Still my mind goes wandering down memory lane
D A E
Looking round for the good old days
[Instrumental]
Emaj7 E6 Emaj7 E6 Esus E [ E - Esus4 - Eadd11 - Esus4 - E ] (once)
[Verse]
Emaj7 E6
My high school sweetheart's married off
Emaj7 E6 Esus E E - Esus4 - Eadd11 - Esus4 - E
With two kids and another on the way
Emaj7 E6
And the coach I hardly recognized
Emaj7 E6 Esus E B
His thick black hair has slowly turned to grey
[Chorus]
D A E B
All the debutantes and the homecoming queen
D A E F#
Have taken kids on to raise
D A E B
Still my mind goes wandering down memory lane
D A E
Looking round for the good old days
[Verse]
A E
When I find myself romancing now
B E
The way that it used to be
A E
I can't help thinking someday
B E
That it's coming back to me
A E
But I never was the kind
B D
To see the forest for the trees
[Solo over chorus chord progression]
[Verse]
Emaj7 E6
Looking back on yesterday
Emaj7 E6 Esus E [E - Esus4 - Eadd11 - Esus4 - E]
Never was my favorite thing to do
Emaj7 E6
But that's okay it's just as well
Emaj7 E6 Esus E B
It seems there's less to hold on to
[Chorus]
D A E B
There's a parking lot where the church used to be
D A E F#
And the old town drunk changed his ways
D A E B
Still my mind goes wandering down memory lane
D A E
Well I hope it's a passing phase
B
Oh yeah
D A E
Looking back at the good old days
