Key: D
Introduction: D7 D7(4)
G C D7
I closed my eyes in Dartmouth, woke up behind the wheel
G C D7
A mason jar of memories and four black tires squeal
Am7 Em Am7 Em
The first and last time that we spoke, you were lighting up a smoke
D D4
And shit was real!
G C D7
The Prisonaires were singing â??Just Walking in the Rainâ?
G C D7
Thatâ??s how we got to Memphis and we made it home again
Am7 Em Am7 Em
Down the highway that I dream, with my blue eyes closed Iâ??ve seen
D D4
Beyond the frame!
G C
Oh the good times we had, I remember them, lads
D D4
We could take any turn on a dime
C
Quit reminding me, girl, Itâ??s a ragged old world
D C
Cause I donâ??t want to leave it behind
D G
No, I donâ??t want to leave it behind
G C D7
From a gas station in Texas, to the Bay of Fundy mud
C D7
My mind it goes a-wandering with the whisky in my blood
Am7 Em Am Em
Remembering the chance we had after the dance
D
Before the flood gates opened....
C D7
...Reality came rushing in
C D7
Drowning out the past and chasing it with gin
Em Am Em
Iâ??ll find that place again, but let me first explain
D D4
Where do I begin?
C D7
We picked up the sticks, gave it all we got
G C D7
The only time I liked playing hockey was in the liquor store parking lot
Am7 Em Am7 Em
On Hollis Street downtown, before they tore it down,
D D4
I took a shot!
