FIRST VERSE:
D Talked to my daddy last G night about the A nineteen fifty D two
D I'd heard about the good ol' days
G And I was A wonderin' if they were D true
G Well it must have been, be A cause he smiled
and his D eyes looked into G mine
And I could D tell he touched a memory as he A told me of a D time
When the G Dodgers were in Brooklyn and the {D}air was clean
G Marylyn Monroe was breaking D hearts on silver A screens
Daddy G finally stole my momma's heart a{D}way from ol' James G Dean
On the D other side of memory's fence, the A grass is always {D}green
SECOND VERSE:
I talked to my momma, last night about the ways things use to be
Showed me of a picture of some here and a guy that looked like me
Spell bound around a tv in the den
I wish that we could go back to those innocent times again
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
G Now I know that time has D changed things
G Then and now is day and D night
G Memories will always D be larger than {G}life
And it's all right here in black in A white
CHORUS
On the D other side of memory's fence, the A grass is always {D}green
