Back In My Day chords by The Handsome Family

Back in My Day
From the album Unseen

INTRO:
Em C G D

VERSE 1:
        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

CHORUS:

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

INTERLUDE:

Am Em G D

VERSE 2:

       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

CHORUS:

Em
Way back in the good days,
    C
the ones you didn't see,
      G
When everything was better,
 D
darker and deep

OUTRO:

Am Em G D

C Cm G D
