Intro 1

Gsus4

He drove

Verse 1
C 
across the prairies,
G 
past a million stalks of corn
Em 
G 
Am 
C 
Just you and me, the cat and dog,
and a baby yet unborn
F 
Camping out in cheap motels,
C 
on a road to better days
In a
Dm 
C 
Volvo covered wagon,
G 
Gsus4 
G 
when each mile had things        to say
Dm 
Thoughts   of you still come and go,
C 
I still can see you smile
Am 
Some nights   your love
C 
Dm 
still visits me, it's true
C 
Gsus4 
G 
F 
C 
G 
Every once     in a while
In
C 
Montana, we stopped to watch
G 
Elk grazing in their tracks
Am 
Metal ox flew in the breeze
C 
We could hear the river splash
F 
We were livin' our own future
C 
when the fu ture had us sick
Dm 
C 
Till the prairies faded from our minds,
G 
Gsus4 
G 
we all went our separate    ways
Dm 
Days they stumbled into years,
C 
years stumbled into miles
Am 
G 
It's true, they stumble back to me,
C 
Dm 
C 
G 
Gsus4 
G 
F 
C 
G 
they do
C 
We were children of the meadows,
G 
the flowers saw our souls
Am 
We turned pebbles into diamonds,
C 
we never would grow old
F 
Then we did and had a kid,
C 
she grew up and flew away
F 
Dm 
Em 
Our memories could fill the sky,
G 
so much was left to say
Dm 
Was it you who kept the dream,
C 
and me who kept the files?
Am 
C 
Dm 
I think about the life we shared so nice
C 
Gsus4 
G 
F 
C 
Gsus4 
If it was in a while
F 
Were you jealous of my future?
Am 
Was I jealous of your past?
C 
When we looked into the present
G 
It wasn't looking back
F 
We knew many others
Am 
They can vouch it's true
C 
So much love went its way
Dm 
C 
F 
But much just stayed with you
C 
We heard mu sic in the branches
G 
We saw mu sic in the waves
Am 
How the music catches
C 
How the music can persuade
F 
We breathed in everything we heard
C 
We were young and felt amazed
Dm 
C 
The future was a million roads
Gsus4 
G 
You could take     a million ways
Dm 
One day the angels took you
C 
Not your voice, your grace, your style
Am 
Your love sometimes will
Dm 
find me missing you
C 
G 
Gsus4 
G 
Every once in a
F 
C 
G 
Gsus4 
while
You
