Intro:
E Esus E2 E Esus E2 Esus
Verse 1:
E Esus E2 Esus
A little blond haired boy comes to mind
E Esus E2 Esus
Though he's someone that I haven't seen in a long, long time
E Esus
He comes in late from his fishing hole
E2 Esus
He missed his supper and now it's cold
E Esus
Mama shakes a spoon as he walks by
E2 Esus E
But he sees a wink in her eye
E A E
I do not ask you why you look in your mirror
E A (finger-picking #2)
So why do you ask me why I
E
look in my past
Verse 2:
E Esus E2 Esus
E Esus
The moon is sneaking up over my memory's trees
E2 Esus
Bull bats are skating through that evening breeze
E Esus
An old cow in lowing for her baby somewhere
E2 Esus
The windmill creaks as it chops the air
E Esus
The dogs get kinda restless and trot off in the night
E2 Esus
And two rabbits brave the yard when they're out of sight
E Esus E2
The breeze speaks through the screen and says close your eyes
E2 Esus E
You're up too late for a boy your size
CHORUS
Bridge:
E Esus E2 Esus (4x)
E Esus E2 Esus
You say that I dream my life away
E A
And you're partly right and you're partly wrong
E A (finger-picking #2)
But what you can't see is where I've gone
E
In my past
E Esus E2 Esus
E Esus E2 Esus
You say that I dream my life away
E A
And you're partly right and you're partly wrong
E A (finger-picking #2)
But what you can't see is where I've gone and what i own
E
In my past
E Esus E2 Esus

------------------------------------
hint: if you play the finger-picking pattern right,
to where you just dont do any picking on the
A or the D string, then instead of the full chords
you can just hold the single note on the G string.
Below is the tab for the finger picking that i do
for each chord on this song.
