Verse 1
I (G major) re (D major) mem (C major) (D major) ber (G major) oh so clearly
in that south (D major) ern college town
Knoxville (C major) grass was playin'
I was (G major) sittin' in the crowd (D major)
We were second (G major) generation,
and it (D major) really made me proud
(C major) Bluegrass was changing,
moving to (D major) the here and (G major) now
When a (D major) tap upon my shoulder
and a (C major) whisper in my (G major) ear
Brought (E minor) me the (C major) news of his passing (D major)
The day (C major) that Lester died,
I hung my head and (G major) cried
Tears for the man
and a sound from days gone (D major) by
Song (G major) s will live on,
we'll (C major) sing them again
Somehow (G major) it will never be (D major)
the (G major) same (C major) (G major) (D major)
(G major)
Well, I only got to see him
two (D major) or three times in my life
(C major) Once it was in Nashville
on the (G major) air for Martha White
(D major) I was mes (G major) merized and spellbound,
though I (D major) really don't know why
Perhaps (C major) it was the crooked hat,
the (D major) twinkle in his (G major) eye
Well, I (D major) guess I took for granted
how he (C major) had (G major) paved the way
Un (E minor) til the (C major) mo ment we lost (D major) him
The day (C major) that Lester died,
I hung my head and cried (G major)
Tears for the man
and a sound from days gone (D major) by
The songs (G major) we'll live on,
we'll (C major) sing them again
Some (G major) how it will never be (D major) the (G major) same
(D major) (C major)
(G major) (D major) (G major) (D major) (C major)
(G major) (D major) (G major)
Well, I (D major) guess I took for granted
how he (C major) had (G major) paved the way
(E minor) Until the (C major) mo ment we (D major) lost him
The day (C major) that Lester died
I hung my head and (G major) cried
Tears for the man
And a sound from days (D major) gone by
The songs (G major) we'll live on
We'll (C major) sing them again
Some (G major) how it will never be (D major) the (G major) same
All the songs we'll live on
We'll (C major) sing them again
Some (G major) how it will (D major) never be the (G major) same
On my mind
And (C major) on my (G major) mind (D major) (A minor) (D major)
You're (A minor) al (D major) ways in (A minor) my heart (D major)
Outro 1
And on my mind
(G major) (C major) (G major)
