[Intro]
Em D C Em D C
[Verse 1]
G D G On the banks of the old Bandera Em7 D G Where roams the barefoot child Em7 D G C On Sunday go to meetin' shortcuts Am7 D Out along the high wire lines down a dusty road
[Verse 2]
G D G The hills there were bluebonnets Em7 D G Like a printed cotton gown Em7 D G C Am7 And summer rain falls down like honey Am7 D Sweet magnolia blossoms grow and old men dance
[Chorus]
Am7 G Once we ran barefooted through a clover full of dew Am7 G Once we learned to play like lone Comanches running loose D G What it made you feel like is a song Em7 D G But what it feels like now is gone
[Guitar Solo]
Em7 D C Em7 D C
Em7 D C Em7 D C
[Verse 3]
G D G I can hear the screen door slamming Em7 D G Run a foot race to the creek Em7 D G C You can see clean to the bottom and deeper Am7 D Just depends on how you look, maybe where you stand
[Chorus]
Am7 G Monkey vines and swimmin' holes lay just around the bend Am7 G The rope we used to swing on now hangs tattered in the wind D G What it made you feel like is a song Em7 D G And what it feels like now is gone Em7 D G What it made you feel like is a song
[Outro]
