Verse 1
G 
We're all together once again
C 
for the first time
And I don't know
G 
when we were so close
D 
once upon a time
G 
There were five of us kids at home,
C 
two girls, three boys and dad and mom
G 
That was in the better part
D 
G 
of life we've left behind
Remember that old swimming hole
C 
where we would swim so long ago
G 
All them possum grapes
D 
and muscadines
G 
And do you all recall the time
C 
we all got drunk on homemade wine?
G 
That was in the better part
D 
G 
of life we'd left behind
D 
Life was simple for us then,
C 
G 
if only it could be again
D 
How I wish we could go back in time
G 
But time moves on and nothing lasts,
C 
except the memories from the past,
G 
memories from the better part
D 
G 
of life we've left behind
Ab 
Remember how we talked as kids
Db 
of what we'd be when we got big
Ab 
Eb 
and all the dreams that we held in our minds.
Ab 
I wanted to be a singing star
Db 
and you all said that I'd go far.
Ab 
That was in the better part
Eb 
Ab 
of life we've left behind.
Db 
Remember all the fun we had back
when they say times were bad
Ab 
Eb 
Life was good to us and things were fine
Ab 
We had fun and we had love
Db 
and a mom and dad to care for us
Ab 
That was in the better part
Eb 
Ab 
of life we've left behind
Eb 
Life was simple for us then,
Db 
Ab 
if only it could be again
Eb 
How I wish we could go back in time
Ab 
But life moves on and nothing lasts
Db 
Except the memories from the past
Ab 
Memories from the better part
Eb 
Ab 
of life we've left behind
Sweet memories from the better part
Eb 
of life we've left behind.
