      C               G
While window shopping through the past

  C            F
I ran across a looking glass

C                  G                         C
Reflecting moments remaining in a burned out light

C            G
Tragic magic prayers of passion

C                     F
Stay the same through changing fashions

     C                   G                   C
They freeze my mind like water on a winter’s night
Chorus:
D
Spent most of my youth

    G
Out hobo cruising

D
And all I got for proof

   G
Is rocks in my pockets and dirt in my shoes

   C          G
So goodbye nonbeliever

C                     F
Don’t you know that I hate to leave here

C             G                   C
So long babe, I got the flashback blues.
(Repeat Intro)
C           G
Photographs show the laughs

C              F
Recorded in between the bad times

C             G                    C
Happy sailors dancing on a sinking ship

C                G
Cloudy skies and dead fruit flies

C                   F
Waving goodbye with tears in my eyes

     C                     G                        C
Well sure I made it but ya know it was as hell of a trip.
(Repeat Chorus)
    C                 G
And ten times what it grieves you

C                      F
That’s how much more I hate to leave you now

C             G                   C        
So long babe, I got the flashback blues.
(Repeat intro) (Repeat chorus)
   C          G
So goodbye nonbeliever

          C           F
Don’t you know that I hate to leave here

C             G                   C
So long babe, I got the flashback blues.
