Music by Phil Lesh, lyrics by Warren Haynes - 2007
Released on Ashes & Dust - 2015

When performed live, this song can clock in at 10 minutes.  You can play the "campfire" version by ignoring
all the optional solo sections.  As always, listen to the song to get the feel for the quick chord changes.

Warren plays this almost entirely with open chords on his Les Paul.


INTRO: (with anticipation)
| Em | A | C | C | Em | A | C | C |
| Em | Em D Em . | Em | Em D Em . |

VERSE 1:
Em          D            C
   Spots of time flash before my eyes
Am      G          F
   Like ribbons of light
C          G           Am         Em
   Helplessly I try to touch them
            D                | Em | Em D Em . |
Before they disappear into the night

Em         D             C
   Running fearlessly as in a dream
Am     G             F
   Headlong into the wind
Dm            Am   C                   G
   Cool night air, blowing through our hair
E                              | Am C D . |
Moonlight dancing on your skin

CHORUS:
              G       D C
Do you remember,
                           G        D C
How young we were or is it just me?
                 G         D C
Imagining like I always do
                  Am   Em  D    
When we were once wild and free
| Em | Em D Em . | Em | Em D Em . |

VERSE 2:
Em           D            C
   Young man yearning for days gone by
Am     G            F
   Innocence once removed
C        G            Am          Em
Familiar feeling of a front porch swing
      D          | Em | Em D Em . |
And a song, always soothes

Em       D         C
Spots of time like windows appear
Am      G           F
You can look out or in
Dm            Am         C        G
But you can't get to the future I regret
   E                        | Am C D . |
By going through the past, my friend

CHORUS:
       G        D C
Do you remember,
                           G       D C 
How young we were or is it just me?
                 G         D C 
Imagining like I always do
                  Am   Em  D    G B7
That we were once wild and free

BRIDGE:
Em                 A
  A mother's tears, a sparrow's wing
C                       G          D
  A lover's eyes softly glistening
Em                 Bm
  Memories that to me are everything
       G       A    C          D
But to someone else maybe only ashes and dust 

< OPTIONAL SOLOS over | Em | D | C | C | >

CHORUS:
          G        D C
Do you remember,
                           G        D C
How young we were or is it just me?
                 G         D C
Imagining like I always do
                  Am   Em  D    
When we were once wild and free

REPEAT CHORUS and end on D
