F# E D#m7 E
[Verse]
G#m7 B It was under a willow tree F# G#m Five years ago in Louisville B I danced with Daisy in my arms F# G#m And time stood still E It was clear she had her pick B F# Of any man in uniform G#m She kissed me E B And swore she'd never stray F# C#m7 But then the world got in the way
[Pre-chorus]
D#m7 Fought a war, returned to see EM7 Another fight in front of me F#sus4 And now I must remind her
Of the love we left behind
C#m7 Her words that night D#m7 The vow she said back then
I'll help her say again
B One party left to throw F#sus4 How could she say no?
[Chorus]
B F#sus4 We'll go back to that kiss Esus2 F#sus4 To that row of willow trees B F#sus4 All the years that we missed Esus2 F#sus4 Will blow away with the breeze G#m7 Esus2 They say you can't relive the past B F#sus4 But you know what I see? C#m B F#sus4 Finally the past is catching up to me
B
[Verse]
G#m E B Some will shudder at what I've done F# I'll say that I have crossed a line G#m E B F# I tell you, every lavish night was by design G#m E B F# I'd become the man her world demanded me to be G#m E B With only a nickel to my name F# C#m I bet it all to get in the game
[Pre-Chorus]
D#m Had a past to rectify EM7 Made that nickel multiply F# It took no time to love her C#m Just to be worthy of her D#m And though the years have passed us by
One memory survives
EM7 She could see it too A7 F# But see it through my eyes
[Chorus]
B F# We'll go back to that kiss C#m7 E F# to that row of willow trees B F#sus4 All the years that we missed C#m F# Will blow away with the breeze G#m E They say you can't relive the past B F#sus4 But you know what I see? C#m B F# Asus2 Finally the past is catching up to me
[Bridge]
G#m7 GM7 Daisy always saw in me a man who knew his worth F#sus4 Now that man can give her everything on earth C#m7 B (E) A Money can't buy happiness, no sir G#m7 C# G F#m7 But it brings you closer, and closer, and closer...
[Chorus]
E C G Take her back to that kiss Dm F G To that row of willow trees C G All the years that we missed Dm F G Will blow away with the breeze Am F They say you can't relive the past Bb But I know what I see C F Oh, finally the past C Fsus2 Finally the past C Fsus2 Finally the past...
