Intro
Em Em/F# G
Em Em/F# G
The door on the mailbox is rusted shut
Em Em/F# G
The grass in the yard sure has grown up
Em Em/F# G
One of the chains is broken on the front porch swing
Em Em/F# G
I don't know why I came
G D/F#
I guess I had to see it one more time
Em A
This little trailer we shared in better times
Chorus:
D G A D
Way out yonder see those big old black clouds moving
G G/F# A
I wish the wind could blow me back in time
G A D G G/F# Em
those were the days, I had it made, when you were
Em A D
Temporarily forever mine
Did you know your mother still calls me
She's got a special place in her heart for me
I'll always be her favorite son-in-law
She wonders what went wrong
I know time can take this pain away,
But time can't take me back to yesterday
Chorus
