Chords

The walkdown (D*) is played just before and at the end of the first line of each chorus. The lick (D/G*) is not entirely identical to Andrew's fiddle picking, but works well both in the intro and outro, as it has been outlined below.

[Intro] G G G C C C G G G C C C G G G C C C D/G* G C G [Verse 1]
N.C.                       C         D
All the snow has turned to water

                             G    C    G
Christmas days have come and gone

                        C         D
Broken toys and faded colors

                          G    C    G
All that's left to linger on

N.C.                      C         D
I hate graveyards and old pawn shops

                      G    C    G
For they all bring me tears

                            C         D
I can't forget the way they robbed me

                     G         D*
Of my childhood souvenirs
[Chorus]
D                       G         D*
Memories, they can't be boughten

D                             G
Can't be won at carnivals for free

         C                G
Well, it took me years to get these souvenirs

      C                                     D
And I don't know how they slipped away from me
[Solo] C D G C G C D G C G [Verse 2]
N.C.                     C         D
Broken hearts and dirty windows

                       G    C    G
Make life difficult to see

                                C         D
That's why last night and this morning

                        G    C    G
Always look the same to me
[Verse 3]
N.C.                          C         D
I hate reading old love letters

                         G    C    G
For they always bring me tears

                            C               D
Can't forgive the way they robbed me, yeah

                     G         D*
Of my childhood souvenirs
[Chorus]
D                       G         D*
Memories, they can't be boughten

D                             G
Can't be won at carnivals for free

         C                G
Well, it took me years to get these souvenirs

      C                                     D
And I don't know how they slipped away from me
