INTRO: D A G A
D A
Got a big leather suitcase, all I own's inside.
G G
Seems I been walkin' for days, can't even bum a ride.
D A
Try steppin' to a tune, with the rhythm of a walking man;
G G
Mind drifts like a big balloon, out of my situation at hand.
D A G A
Ain't it funny how a melody, can bring back a memory?
D A G A D A
G A
Take you to another place in time, completely change your state of mind.
D A
Walkin' down a lonely highway, not feelin' alone;
G G
Thinkin' back when things went my way, and not the road I'm on.
D A
Well, I've been down a time or two, but it never lasts long;
G G
I can always make it through, on a wing and a prayer and a song.
D A G A
Ain't it funny how a melody, can bring back a memory?
D A G A D D{stop}
Take you to another place in time, completely change your state of mind.
D A G A
It can make a right from a wrong, it can make you fall in love.
D A G A
It can get you singin' along, chase the clouds away and make the sun shine
D A G A
above. A melody, can bring back a memory.
D A G A
Take you to another place in time, completely change your state of
D A G A
mind. A melody, can bring back a memory.
D A G A D
Take you to another place in time, completely change your state of mind.
