Years Ago

D

[Verse]
N.C.
                       A7
We had a garden in the backyard
                      D
That we planted every spring
                     A7
A new baby and a used car
                      D
A second hand washing machine
                             G
You hung the laundry on the clothes line
                               D
You tied your hair back with a string
                         A7
I was yours and you were all mine
       D
We had everything

[Verse]
D                          A7
I used to watch you in the kitchen
                    D
Making gravy out of grease
                            A
I know it didn't seem like much then
                          D
But lookin' back it was a feast
                          G
And I remember in the evenings
                      D
After Shandy went to sleep
                      A7
How you put away her play things
                      D
And come and lay with me

[Chorus]
              A7
But that was years ago
                 D
Or was it only yesterday
             A7
We had it all, you know
             D
But that was years ago

[Verse]
D                   A7
I remember you were so proud
                          D
When I took them songs to Nashville
                           A7
I started running with a new crowd
                                  D
You never changed, and you never will
                             G
I always took your love for granted
                              D
While you were begging me to stay
                               A7
And like that garden we once planted
                         D
Love left untended died away

[Chorus]
              A7
But that was years ago
                 D
Or was it only yesterday
           A7
We had it all, you know
             D
But that was years ago
