Chords with lyrics

Back in My Day
From the album Unseen

INTRO:
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD

VERSE 1:
    C majorC
We had maps that unfolded
 C minorCm
back in my day
      G+G
You could drink from the river
    E minorEm
We had gods made of clay
      C majorC
There were mile-high glaciers,
  C minorCm
no locks on the doors
   G+G
The stars burned brighter
     D MajorD
We never counted past four
     C majorC
And the birds were always watching
      C minorCm
There were monsters in the sea
     G+G
We wore watches on our wrists
       D MajorD
There were ghosts in the trees

CHORUS:

E minorEm
Way back in the days,
      C majorC
you're too young to have seen,
     G+G
When the nights were darker,
 D MajorD
longer and deep

INTERLUDE:

A minorAm E minorEm G+G D MajorD

VERSE 2:

    C majorC
There was no time or space
   C minorCm
when I was growing up
    G+G
We had summer all winter
   E minorEm
The moon rose with the sun
   C majorC
And music sounded better
 C minorCm
Recorded on rings of ice
      G+G
And as the songs turned to water
  D MajorD
we couldn't help but cry

CHORUS:

E minorEm
Way back in the good days,
  C majorC
the ones you didn't see,
   G+G
When everything was better,
 D MajorD
darker and deep
