The Handsome Family – Back In My Day (Guitar)

        C
We had maps that unfolded 

 Cm
back in my day

            G
You could drink from the river

        Em
We had gods made of clay

            C
There were mile-high glaciers, 

    Cm
no locks on the doors

      G
The stars burned brighter 

          D
We never counted past four

         C
And the birds were always watching 

            Cm
There were monsters in the sea

         G
We wore watches on our wrists 

             D
There were ghosts in the trees

Em
Way back in the days, 

            C
you're too young to have seen,

          G
When the nights were darker, 

 D
longer and deep

       C
There was no time or space 

     Cm
when I was growing up

        G
We had summer all winter 

     Em
The moon rose with the sun

     C
And music sounded better 

  Cm
Recorded on rings of ice

            G
And as the songs turned to water 

    D
we couldn't help but cry

Em
Way back in the good days, 

    C
the ones you didn't see,

      G
When everything was better, 

 D
darker and deep
