Capo 3 


Intro 
E5  E5  G5 

E5              E5      G5 
The door on the mailbox is rusted shut 
E5               E5         G5 
The grass in the yard sure has grown up 
E5         E5                   G5 
One of the chains is broken on the front porch swing 
E5   E5              G5 
     I don't know why I came 
G5                       D5 
I guess I had to see it one more time 
E5                               A5 
This little trailer we shared in better times 

Chorus: 
D5        G5               A5                    D5 
Way out yonder see those big old black clouds moving 
G5                     G5            A5  
I wish the wind could blow me back in time 
G5              A5     D5        G5       G5        E5  
those were the days, I had it made, when you were  
E5          A5       D5 
Temporarily forever mine 


Did you know your mother still calls me 
She's got a special place in her heart for me 
I'll always be her favorite son-in-law 
She wonders what went wrong 
I know time can take this pain away, 
But time can't take me back to yesterday 


Chorus
