Kathy Mattea - The Innocent Years
INTRO: F Am7 F Am7 F Am7 F
C
I need to go down and wash my face
F Dm7
Deep in the river of my old home place
Am G C G C-G
I need to walk in the waters that once gave me life
C
Go over and walk the old railroad tracks
F Dm7
See if I can follow it all the way back
Am G C F
Back to where my vision is clear
G F
Back to the days of the innocent years
C
Though I'd trade it all back in
F Dm7
For just one day like it was back then
Am G C G C-G
Back before just living my life got in the way
C
To see my face at sixteen again
F Dm7
When the boy down the street was my best friend
Am G C F
When his smile took away my tears
G F
Back in the days of the innocent years
CHORUS:
Am
You might grow wiser every day
F
But there's a price you have to pay
Dm7 F
The girl I was just disappeared
G F
I left her behind in the innocent years
INTERLUDE: F Am7 F Am7 F Am7 F
C
Now and then when the sun goes down
F Dm7
I can see the moon over my hometown
Am G C G C-G
I can almost hear the train rushing by
C
I close my eyes and say a prayer
F Dm7
To the wide eyed girl that I lost somewhere
Am G C F
Maybe someday she'll find me here
G F
And lead me back to the innocent years
CHORUS:
Am
You might grow wiser every day
F
But there's a price you have to pay
Dm7 F
The girl I was just disappeared
G F
Left her behind in the innocent years
CHORUS:
Am
When I get lost along the way
F
And I can't see the light of day
Dm7 F
I can almost feel her near
G F
Calling me back to the innocent years, yeah, yeah
