FIRST VERSE: 
D5                        G5               A5              D5
 Talked to my daddy last night about the nineteen fifty two 
D5
I'd heard about the good ol' days 
G5         A5                      D5
And I was wonderin' if they were true 
G5                           A5
 Well it must have been, be cause he smiled 
        D5                G5
and his eyes looked into mine 
            D5                              A5            D5
And I could tell he touched a memory as he told me of a time 
         G5                                D5
When the Dodgers were in Brooklyn and the air was clean 
G5                            D5                A5
 Marylyn Monroe was breaking hearts on silver screens 
      G5                               D5                  G5
Daddy finally stole my momma's heart away from ol' James Dean 
       D5                                 A5               D5
On the other side of memory's fence, the grass is always green  
 
SECOND VERSE: 

I talked to my momma, last night about the ways things use to be 

Showed me of a picture of some here and a guy that looked like me 

Spell bound around a tv in the den 

I wish that we could go back to those innocent times again 
 
CHORUS 
 
BRIDGE: 
G5                        D5
Now I know that time has changed things 
G5                       D5
Then and now is day and night 
G5                    D5              G5
Memories will always be larger than life 
                                    A5
And it's all right here in black in white 
 
CHORUS 
       D5                                 A5               D5
On the other side of memory's fence, the grass is always green
