[Intro]

[Verse]
    CI'd give anything to go back, Fto days I was yoCung
    All the Cway back to Gold PanCbowl
    I'd Csit down on the lake bed, Fstare at the suCn
    Then I'd Cwalk out in the water, let it Gcleanse my Csoul
    Spend my Cdays up on quicksand, and, Fthere I would pClay
    CWild as a rattlesnake, Gright from the stCart
    I'd Cpush August in, and, Fswing all daCy
    Well, Cshe was the first girl ever Gbroke my Cheart
[Chorus]
    Miss the daFys when this old life
    Was free from aCll this pain and strife
    And all.C.. the sorrow it has brungG  
    I'd give anytFhing to go
    All the way Cback to PanbFowl
    All the way Cback to days Gwhen I was younCg
[Verse]
    Spend my Csummers hearing stories, about the Fone that got aCway
    On the Cdock down at Watt's bar every, Gfourth of JCuly
    Uncle CEverett was the coolest, nevFer had a word Cto say
    When he Cdied's the only time I ever sGeen Papaw cCry
    Every CSunday we'd go visit my great Fgrandma Mary CAnn
    Lord I cCry, just thinking 'bout how good Gshe was to mCe
    My great Cgranddad Elijah was a, Fcoal mining maCn
    Not a Ctooth in his head, but his Geyes held the Csea
[Chorus] repeat:
    Miss the dFays when this old life
    Was free from all Cthis pain and strife
    And all.C.. the sorrow it has brungG  
    I'd give anytFhing to go
    All the way Cback to PanbFowl
    All the way Cback to daGys when I was yoCung

    I'd cFlimb up on High Top, stare out as fCar as I could see
    At the Cone and only home my Gheart has ever Cknown
Notes: Use frequent hammer-ons on the 4th string while in C formation during the intro and throughout
the entire song. A walk up on the 4th string when transitioning from C to F in the verses sounds nice.
