                        Souvenirs - John Prine
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Dave S.
Email: Dlgibson@netscae.com
Tuning: Standard (Capo 2nd Fret)
Artist: John Prine
Album: Diamonds in the Rough
Year: 1972
[Intro]
D   G   A7   D
D   G   A7   D
[Verse 1]
                           G      A7
All the snow has turned to water,
                             D
Christmas days have come and gone.
                G             A7                            D
Broken toys and faded colours are all that's left to linger on.
                          G           A7
I hate graveyards and old pawn shops,
                         D
For they always bring me tears.
                             G               A7             D
I can't forgive the way they robbed me of my childhood souvenirs.
[Chorus]
A7                      D
Memories, they can't be boughten.
A7                                 D
They can't be won at carnivals for free.
A7                        D
Well, it took me years to get those souvenirs,
      G                                     A7
And I don't know how they slipped away from me.
[Verse 2]
  D                      G       A7
Broken hearts and dirty windows
                       D
Make life difficult to see.
                               G        A7
That's why last night and this morning
                        D
Always look the same to me.
                            G        A7
And I hate reading old love letters 
                         D
For they always bring me tears.
                            G          A7
I can't forget the way they robbed me,
                        D
Of my sweetheart's souvenirs.
[Chorus]
A7                      D
Memories, they can't be boughten.
A7                                 D
They can't be won at carnivals for free.
A7                        D
Well, it took me years to get those souvenirs,
      G                                     A7
And I don't know how they slipped away from me.
[Outro]
D   G   A7   D
