Iris Dement “Childhood Memories”
[Verse 1]
F Bb
Fireflies inside of a mason jar.
C F
Acting big behind the wheel of daddy's car.
Dm Bb
Playing church around the old piano stand,
G G7 C
You were quite a preacher and no, we sang so grand.
F Bb
I remember every night what we would say and do:
C F
"If you've forgiven me, then I've forgiven you."
F Bb
And now when life begins to get the best of me,
F C F
I reminisce these childhood memories.
[verse 2]
F Bb
We built a raft and travelled all around the world,
C F
And stopped for penny candy at the corner store.
Dm Bb
You let me fly your kite but then I dropped the string.
G G7 C
I thought my life was over, but Mama rescued me.
F Bb
When I was just a kid you taught my prayers to me.
C F
Then you turned around and you told me about those birds and bees.
F Bb
Come what may, you've been endeared to me,
F C F
Because we share these childhood memories.
[Instrumental bridge]
F C F
v[verse 3]
F Bb
Time, it moved so fast; those days are over now.
C F
We've all gone our separate ways, but still somehow,
Dm Bb
I often need to telephone and talk to you,
G G7 C
To see if you remember things the way I do.
F Bb
It won't be too much longer 'til we'll be old and gray,
C F
And winding up our travels here on life's highway.
F Bb (Slow Down)
But no matter where I roam, I've got you here with me:
F C F
While I reminisce these childhood memories.
[verse 4]
F Bb
Oooh.Oooh.Oooh.Oooh.Oooh.Oooh.
C F
Oooh.Oooh.Oooh.Oooh.Oooh.Oooh.
F Bb
Oooh.Oooh.Oooh.Oooh.Oooh.Oooh.
C F
Oooh.Oooh.Oooh.Oooh.Oooh.Oooh.
