Erik Petersen/Mischief Brew – Olde Tyme Mem’ry
[Intro] 
 D   G   Bm   A   G   A   G   Ax2
[Verse 1]
DWhen father bought the Gfarm, we sold the Bmfarm
Mistook his Ablood for rustic Gcharm
Sold his Aghost as an antiGque to the ciAty
DKids tGoday can’t hold a Bmspade, rest in Apeace your weary Gtrade
In this Aworld there is no plGace, such a Apity
DThe barman shakes his Ghead and fills my Bmglass
Says we’re Aliving in the Gpast
Why preseArve a dying crGaft and it’s miAsery?
DI sigh and say “aGnother modern Bmman,
One of pAroperty, not Gland”
So I hold oAut this battered hGand, will you lisAten?
[Chorus]
Come sit doDwn, we’re laGmenting
About yestDerday’s sad enGding
About the Bmwater in me wGhiskey
And the Bmbrass passed off as gGold
AnoAther rDound, we’re desGcending
In to DOld Tyme MeGm’ry
Of a Bmday when wood was wGooden
Silver Bmsilver, gold was gGold
Sweet hAome was hDome
G Bm A G A G A
[Verse 2]
So you Dsay you’ve got a Gnew stove in your Bmsecond home
Runs on gAas but looks like Goak
Hell, it eAven gives off sGmoke and glowing eAmbers
There’s a qDuilt hung on the Gwall reads ‘Home Sweet HBmome’
Below some wAise word from ThoGreau
And they call me ‘tAhrowback’ wGhen I cry “RemAember!”
[Chorus]
Come sit doDwn, we’re laGmenting
About yestDerday’s sad enGding
About the Bmwater in me wGhiskey
And the Bmbrass passed off as gGold
AnoAther rDound, we’re desGcending
In to DOld Tyme MeGm’ry
Of a Bmday when wood was wGooden
Silver Bmsilver, gold was gGold
Sweet hAome was hDome
G Bm A G A G A
[Verse 3]
  DSon, these tGools are artiBmfacts
Endangered sApecies left its trGacks
Lock me uAp behind plastic glGass in the cAity
‘Cos thDere’s no Ggoing back for Bmme
This antique rAustic’s euloGgy
Shall be Asold as folk aGrtistry, such a Apity...
DBut I’ll neGver understBmand
Why they all lAong to use those hGands
To build a stAead that will always stGand in old time coAuntry
But seDttle for white rGooms and hollow dBmoors
Paper ceAilings, padded fGloors
Luxury bAoxes where you’re stGored in what was coAuntry
[Chorus]
Come sit doDwn, we’re laGmenting
About yestDerday’s sad enGding
About the Bmwater in me wGhiskey
And the Bmbrass passed off as gGold
AnoAther rDound, we’re desGcending
In to DOld Tyme MeGm’ry
Of a Bmday when wood was wGooden
Silver Bmsilver, gold was gGold
AnoAther rDound, we’re laGmenting
About yestDerday’s sad enGding
About the Bmwater in me wGhiskey
And the Bmbrass passed off as gGold
AnoAther rDound, we’re desGcending
In to DOld Tyme MeGm’ry
Of a Bmday when wood was wGooden
Silver Bmsilver, gold was gGold
Sweet hAome was hDome
G Bm A G A G A

Erik Petersen/Mischief Brew – Olde Tyme Mem’ry

[Intro]

D G Bm A G A G A

[Verse 1]

D G Bm

When father bought the farm, we sold the farm

A G

Mistook his blood for rustic charm

A G A

Sold his ghost as an antique to the city

D G Bm A G

Kids today can’t hold a spade, rest in peace your weary trade

A G A

In this world there is no place, such a pity

D G Bm

The barman shakes his head and fills my glass

A G

Says we’re living in the past

A G A

Why preserve a dying craft and it’s misery?

D G Bm

I sigh and say “another modern man,

A G

One of property, not land”

A G A

So I hold out this battered hand, will you listen?

[Chorus]

D G

Come sit down, we’re lamenting

D G

About yesterday’s sad ending

Bm G

About the water in me whiskey

Bm G

And the brass passed off as gold

A D G

Another round, we’re descending

D G

In to Old Tyme Mem’ry

Bm G

Of a day when wood was wooden

Bm G

Silver silver, gold was gold

A D

Sweet home was home

G Bm A G A G A

[Verse 2]

D G Bm

So you say you’ve got a new stove in your second home

A G

Runs on gas but looks like oak

A G A

Hell, it even gives off smoke and glowing embers

D G Bm

There’s a quilt hung on the wall reads ‘Home Sweet Home’

A G

Below some wise word from Thoreau

A G A

And they call me ‘throwback’ when I cry “Remember!”

[Chorus]

D G

Come sit down, we’re lamenting

D G

About yesterday’s sad ending

Bm G

About the water in me whiskey

Bm G

And the brass passed off as gold

A D G

Another round, we’re descending

D G

In to Old Tyme Mem’ry

Bm G

Of a day when wood was wooden

Bm G

Silver silver, gold was gold

A D

Sweet home was home

G Bm A G A G A

[Verse 3]

D G Bm

Son, these tools are artifacts

A G

Endangered species left its tracks

A G A

Lock me up behind plastic glass in the city

D G Bm

‘Cos there’s no going back for me

A G

This antique rustic’s eulogy

A G A

Shall be sold as folk artistry, such a pity...

D G Bm

But I’ll never understand

A G

Why they all long to use those hands

A G A

To build a stead that will always stand in old time country

D G Bm

But settle for white rooms and hollow doors

A G

Paper ceilings, padded floors

A G A

Luxury boxes where you’re stored in what was country

[Chorus]

D G

Come sit down, we’re lamenting

D G

About yesterday’s sad ending

Bm G

About the water in me whiskey

Bm G

And the brass passed off as gold

A D G

Another round, we’re descending

D G

In to Old Tyme Mem’ry

Bm G

Of a day when wood was wooden

Bm G

Silver silver, gold was gold

A D G

Another round, we’re lamenting

D G

About yesterday’s sad ending

Bm G

About the water in me whiskey

Bm G

And the brass passed off as gold

A D G

Another round, we’re descending

D G

In to Old Tyme Mem’ry

Bm G

Of a day when wood was wooden

Bm G

Silver silver, gold was gold

A D

Sweet home was home

G Bm A G A G A
