[Intro]

[Verse]
N.C.
We had a garden in the A7backyard
That we planted every Dspring
A new baby and a used A7car
A second hand washing Dmachine
You hung the laundry on the cGlothes line
You tied your hair back with a Dstring
I was yours and you were A7all mine
We had Deverything
[Verse]
DI used to watch you in the A7kitchen
Making gravy out of Dgrease
I know it didn't seem like mAuch then
But lookin' back it was a Dfeast
And I remember in the evenGings
After Shandy went to sDleep
How you put away her pA7lay things
And come and lay with Dme
[Chorus]
But that was yA7ears ago
Or was it only yeDsterday
We had it allA7, you know
But that was Dyears ago
[Verse]
DI remember you were A7so proud
When I took them songs to DNashville
I started running with a neA7w crowd
You never changed, and you never wDill
I always took your love for gGranted
While you were begging me to sDtay
And like that garden we once plA7anted
Love left untended died aDway
[Chorus]
But that was yA7ears ago
Or was it only yeDsterday
We had it aA7ll, you know
But that was Dyears ago

[Intro]

[Verse]

N.C.

We had a garden in the backyard

That we planted every spring

A new baby and a used car

A second hand washing machine

You hung the laundry on the clothes line

You tied your hair back with a string

I was yours and you were all mine

We had everything

[Verse]

D A7

I used to watch you in the kitchen

Making gravy out of grease

I know it didn't seem like much then

But lookin' back it was a feast

And I remember in the evenings

After Shandy went to sleep

How you put away her play things

And come and lay with me

[Chorus]

But that was years ago

Or was it only yesterday

We had it all, you know

But that was years ago

[Verse]

D A7

I remember you were so proud

When I took them songs to Nashville

I started running with a new crowd

You never changed, and you never will

I always took your love for granted

While you were begging me to stay

And like that garden we once planted

Love left untended died away

[Chorus]

But that was years ago

Or was it only yesterday

We had it all, you know

But that was years ago
