Fifty Years Ago chords by Brenn Hill

• Difficulty: Intermediate 💪

Verse 1:
A D A F#m E A
If

I could roll back the years
      D
Back when

I was young and limber
            A    F#m
Loose like ashes in  the wind
      Bm
Had no  irons in the fire
 E     C#m
I could   ride them wild young broncs
     D
The adrenaline came quick

And
 A       F#m
Juanita down at  Mona's
      E              A
Was my only heart's desire

We were living for the moment
         D
And the sunlight on my silver
        A               F#m
bits the ringing of my jingle
              Bm          E
bobs was the music of my soul
      C#m
In the   alley back of  Mona's
   C#m  D
I held   Juanita in the shadows
      A      E        F#m
how we held on to each   other
         E              A
and the lovin' that we stole

Chorus:
         E
And the sighing of the pines
A
 up here near the timber line

makes me wish I'd done things
          D
different Oh but wishin' don't make it so
A         E
  Oh the time has passed so quick
 A
The years all run together now

Did  I hold Juanita yesterday
  D                 E
Or was it 50 years ago

Bridge:
A D A E A F#m Bm E A
If I would have quit them broncs
   D
She might have quit that business
A                  F#m
 but that was back in  the fast days
        Bm            E
you know  before the wire

Verse 4:
C#m
   Bet I could still find her
       D
and I bet she's just as pretty
               A      F#m
as when she's Juanita down at Mona's
     E               A
and my only heart's desire

Chorus:
       E
And the sighing of the pines
    A
Up here near the timberline
        D
Makes me wish I'd done

things different Oh but

wishing don't make it so
A

Verse 5:
A         E
  Oh the time has passed so quick
   A
The years all run together now

Did I hold Juanita yesterday
    D
Or was it fifty years ago

Chorus:
E
 And the sighing of the pines
  A
Up here near the timberline
          D
Makes me wish I'd done

things different Oh but

wishin' don't make it so
A

Outro:
A E A D E
