Erik Petersen/Mischief Brew – Olde Tyme Mem’ry
[Intro]
D G Bm A G A G A x2
[Verse 1]
D G Bm When father bought the farm, we sold the farm A G Mistook his blood for rustic charm A G A Sold his ghost as an antique to the city D G Bm A G Kids today can’t hold a spade, rest in peace your weary trade A G A In this world there is no place, such a pity D G Bm The barman shakes his head and fills my glass A G Says we’re living in the past A G A Why preserve a dying craft and it’s misery? D G Bm I sigh and say “another modern man, A G One of property, not land” A G A So I hold out this battered hand, will you listen?
[Chorus]
D G Come sit down, we’re lamenting D G About yesterday’s sad ending Bm G About the water in me whiskey Bm G And the brass passed off as gold A D G Another round, we’re descending D G In to Old Tyme Mem’ry Bm G Of a day when wood was wooden Bm G Silver silver, gold was gold A D Sweet home was home
G Bm A G A G A
[Verse 2]
D G Bm So you say you’ve got a new stove in your second home A G Runs on gas but looks like oak A G A Hell, it even gives off smoke and glowing embers D G Bm There’s a quilt hung on the wall reads ‘Home Sweet Home’ A G Below some wise word from Thoreau A G A And they call me ‘throwback’ when I cry “Remember!”
[Chorus]
D G Come sit down, we’re lamenting D G About yesterday’s sad ending Bm G About the water in me whiskey Bm G And the brass passed off as gold A D G Another round, we’re descending D G In to Old Tyme Mem’ry Bm G Of a day when wood was wooden Bm G Silver silver, gold was gold A D Sweet home was home
G Bm A G A G A
[Verse 3]
D G Bm Son, these tools are artifacts A G Endangered species left its tracks A G A Lock me up behind plastic glass in the city D G Bm ‘Cos there’s no going back for me A G This antique rustic’s eulogy A G A Shall be sold as folk artistry, such a pity... D G Bm But I’ll never understand A G Why they all long to use those hands A G A To build a stead that will always stand in old time country D G Bm But settle for white rooms and hollow doors A G Paper ceilings, padded floors A G A Luxury boxes where you’re stored in what was country
[Chorus]
D G Come sit down, we’re lamenting D G About yesterday’s sad ending Bm G About the water in me whiskey Bm G And the brass passed off as gold A D G Another round, we’re descending D G In to Old Tyme Mem’ry Bm G Of a day when wood was wooden Bm G Silver silver, gold was gold A D G Another round, we’re lamenting D G About yesterday’s sad ending Bm G About the water in me whiskey Bm G And the brass passed off as gold A D G Another round, we’re descending D G In to Old Tyme Mem’ry Bm G Of a day when wood was wooden Bm G Silver silver, gold was gold A D Sweet home was home
