A Few Short Years Ago chords by Anita Carter
Verse 1
D
I went back to the village town
G
D
and sat beneath the tree
Up on the schoolhouse playground
E
A
which once sheltered you and me
D
But none were there to greet me, Tom,
G
D
and few were left to know
That played with us upon the grass
A
D
a few short years ago
G
I stood and gazed upon the tree
D
where you once carved our names
G
I loved you then with all my heart
D
A
and then has never changed
D
The tree is old and tired, Tom
G
D
It's dying, sure, but slow
Soon it will die, just as you died
A
D
A few short years ago
The grass is just as green, Tom,
G
D
with barefoot boys at play.
They're playing games
that we played then,
E
A
with spirits just as gay.
D
The same old bricks are in the wall,
G
D
the bell swings to and fro
And sounds just like it sounded, Tom,
A
D
a few short years ago
G
I went up to the churchyard, Tom,
D
did you know I was there?
G
And did you hear me prayin', Tom,
D
A
we'd meet again somewhere?
D
You see, I've never married Tom,
G
D
I've only had one beau
And as you know, that beau was you
A
D
a few short years ago
