Minutes To Memories- john Cougar
Intro: E, D, A, E, D, A
1st verse:
E D A
On a grey-hound 30 Miles beyond James town,
He saw the sunset on the Tennessee Line
Looked at the young man who was Riding be - Side him,
He said I’m old kinda Worn out in -Side
I worked my whole life in the Steel mills near Gary
And my father before me I Helped build this Land
Now I’m 77 and with God as my Witness I
Earned every dollar that Passed through my Hands.
1st Pre-chorus:
B A
My family and friends are the Best things I’ve known through the
Eye of the needle I’ll Carry them home.
1st Chorus:
E D A
Days turn to minutes and Minutes to memo - Ries,

so Suck it up and tough t it out and be the best you can.
2nd verse:
E D A
The rain hit the old dog in the Twi-lights last Gleaming.
He said son it sounds like Rattl-ing old Bones
This highway is long but I Know some that are Longer
By sun up to-mor-row I Guess I’ll be Home
Through the hill of Kentucky ‘Cross the ohio River
The old man kept talking about his Life and his Times
He fell asleep with his head a - Gainst the Window he
Said an honest man’s pllow is His peace of Mind this
2nd pre-chorus:
B A
World offers riches and Riches will grow wings
I don’t take stock in Those uncertain things.
