INTRO: D MajorD

#1.
D MajorD                      D7D7
We were both nine years old when you came to town
 G+G            D MajorD
I remember the big Allied Van.
D MajorD                       E7E7
My momma went over and took you all lunch, my dad
        A7A7
gave your dad a hand.

#2.
    D MajorD
And the first time I saw you was through the screen
D7D7       G+G            D MajorD
door, when the paper I threw missed the porch.
G+G               D MajorD
Lord, it's been years since I carried the news, but
 A7A7       D MajorD
I still carry the torch.

CHORUS:
D MajorD                   D7D7
Maple Street memories and cherry tree games,
    G+G          D MajorD
summer nights and ice cream cones.
D MajorD                       D7D7
Take the red from the roses, the sun from the sky,
             A7A7    G+G
but leave my Maple Street memories alone.
     D MajorD      A7A7    D MajorD
Leave my Maple Street memories alone.

D MajorD                     D7D7
We played hide-n-seek in the buildings out back
   G+G       D MajorD
I was easy to find I admit.
D MajorD
As the years flew away it got harder to hide
  E7E7           A7A7
The fact I thought you were it.

#3.
    D MajorD                D7D7
Then we stood by the Lilac bush in your yard
   G+G           D MajorD
Your pink prom gown late in May
   G+G           D MajorD
Your mom took our pictures, I took your hand
  A7A7         D MajorD
and you took my breath away.

CHORUS:
D MajorD                   D7D7
Maple Street memories and cherry tree games,
    G+G          D MajorD
summer nights and ice cream cones.
D MajorD                       D7D7
Take the red from the roses, the sun from the sky,
             A7A7    G+G
but leave my Maple Street memories alone.
     D MajorD      A7A7    D MajorD
Leave my Maple Street memories alone.

#4.
D MajorD                     D7D7
I never go back that I don't stand in the yard
  G+G           D MajorD
and look at your window upstairs.
D MajorD
In my mind I see you combing your hair
    E7E7         A7A7
blowing kisses at me in the air.

#5.
   D MajorD                  D7D7
Then one time at Christmas I saw you come home,
   G+G             D MajorD
your arms full of children that day.
    G+G            D MajorD
It was later that night when I put mine to bed,
     A7A7          D MajorD
I put my Maple Street memories away.

OUTRO:
D MajorD                   D7D7
Maple Street memories and cherry tree games.
    G+G         D MajorD
Summer nights and bicycle games.
D MajorD
Leave me with something my heart can take,
              A7A7    G+G
but take those Maple Street memories away
D MajorD            A7A7    D MajorD
Take those Maple Street memories away.
