Memories chords by Emma Hamel

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:

D
Singing frogs in spring
D
Bluebirds on the wing
G
Lilac-scented breeze
   G
In tall willow trees
D
River gliding by
  D
Beneath bright blue sky,
G

Spring on Apple Fruit Farm hill
    Gm                D
The memories charm me still


Chorus:

D           D7             G
Oh what I’d give to go back for a day
                     Gm
To that dear country home on a hill far away
D                         F#
To hear my dad whistle or see Mother smile
G                                D
Back to my childhood to linger awhile


Verse 2:

D
Fields of waving grain
D
Summer’s gentle rain
G
Scent of new mown hay
     G
On a lazy June day
D
Apples in fall,
  D
A whip-poor-will’s call
G
Sledding on a wintery hill
    Gm              D
The memories linger still

D           D7             G

To hear my dad whistle or see Mother smile

Back to my childhood to linger

D           D7             G

To that dear country home on a hill far away

To hear my dad whistle or see Mother smile

awhile, awhile

awhile, awhile, awhile

to linger awhile
