D MajorD  C majorC  G+G


Verse 1:
       D MajorD    C majorC       G+G
I wish I had pictures  of every old day
          D MajorD    C majorC       E minorEm
Cause all these old memories   are fading away
         D MajorD     C majorC          G+G
There used to be pictures,    but they faded too
          D MajorD    C majorC            G+G
Or got lost in the hubbub,    or I'd show them to you


Verse 2:
       D MajorD    C majorC         G+G
Of all my old lovers,  folks I used to know
         D MajorD     C majorC          E minorEm
And those I still care for,   who died long ago
       D MajorD    C majorC         G+G
The glamorous cities,  each cute little town
         D MajorD    C majorC           G+G
The trees turning purple     and yellow and brown

Bridge:
       C majorC    G+G          D MajorD
If I were an artist,   with charcoal and pad
        C majorC     G+G           BB
I'd make my own pictures     of each day I've had
      C majorC   G+G          D MajorD
If I were a poet,  I'd know the right word
        C majorC   G+G         BB
I'd make it all pretty, and grand, and absurd
       C majorC   G+G          D MajorD
If I were an actor,   with just a wisecrack
        C majorC    G+G            BB
Or some little gesture,     I'd bring it all back


Verse 3:
        D MajorD    C majorC       G+G
But I'm just a singer;  it's only a song
        D MajorD   C majorC       E minorEm
The things I remember  are probably wrong
       D MajorD    C majorC       G+G
I wish I had pictures  of every old day
          D MajorD     C majorC       G+G
Cause all these old memories   are fading away


Outro:
       D MajorD     C majorC         G+G
All these old memories     are fading away
       D MajorD     C majorC         G+G
All these old memories     are fading away
       D MajorD     C majorC         G+G
All these old memories     are fading away
