Standard (EADGBE)

Drive the car down the dirt road, and back behind the barn

Back where we used to hide, and run out on the fields

With those dogs fast on our heels; I didn't know

That those dogs would never bite

(bite) Catching bugs back by the light, in the trees I see you hiding

I see you hiding

Well I'd give everything I own for a taste of yesterday

To hear my father calling out "Mary," well I know just what he'd say

Back to the farm, we'd be out to the fields (??), and I'd be

Swinging on, swinging on his arm

And walk out to the prairie there, thinking we'd find God somewhere

But he was nowhere to be found

And climb up on a haystack, and have us a look around

Don't you know, not one tree broke the ground

And of all the things I miss, I can tell you, I can tell you

I can tell you this

Well I'd give everything I own for a taste of yesterday

To hear my father calling out "Mary," well I know just what he'd say

Back to the farm, we'd be out to the fields (??), and I'd be

Swinging on, swinging on his arm, and I'd be

Swinging on, swinging on his arm, and I'd be

And of all the things I miss, I can tell you, I can tell you

I can tell you this

Well I'd give everything I own for a taste of yesterday

To hear my father calling out "Mary," well I know just what he'd say

Back to the farm, we'd be out to the fields (??), and I'd be

Swinging on, swinging on his arm, well I'd be

Swinging on, swinging on his arm, well I'd be

Swinging on, swinging on his arm, I'd be

[slowly:] Swinging on, swinging on his arm

Drive the car down the dirt road, and back behind the barn
