Verse 1: 
E5                     E5          E5          E5 
A little blond haired boy comes to mind 
E5                           E5              E5         E5 
Though he's someone that I haven't seen in a long, long time 
E5                         E5 
He comes in late from his fishing hole 
E5                       E5 
He missed his supper and now  it's cold 
E5                      E5 
Mama shakes a spoon as  he  walks by 
      E5           E5          E5 
But he sees a wink  in  her eye 
E5                       A5              E5 
I do not ask you why you look in your mirror 
E5                        A5 (finger-picking #2) 
So why do you ask me why I 
            E5 
look in my past  
 
Verse 2: 
E5 E5 E5 E5 
 
E5                            E5 
The moon is sneaking up over  my  memory's trees 
E5                      E5 
Bull bats are skating through that evening breeze 
E5                            E5 
An old cow in lowing for her baby somewhere 
E5                         E5 
The windmill creaks as it chops the air 
E5                               E5 
The dogs get kinda restless and trot off in the night 
E5                        E5 
And two rabbits brave the yard when they're out of sight 
E5                              E5                                 E5 
The breeze speaks through the screen and says close your eyes 
E5            E5                 E5 
You're up too late for a boy your size 
 
CHORUS

E5            E5         E5     E5 
You say that  I   dream my life away 
E5                                 A5 
And you're partly right and you're partly wrong 
        E5                                      A5 (finger-picking #2) 
But what you can't see is where I've gone 
       E5 
In my past  
E5 E5 E5 E5 
 
E5            E5       E5       E5 
You say that  I   dream my life away 
E5                                 A5 
And you're partly right and you're partly wrong 
        E5                                                  A5 (finger-picking #2) 
But what you can't see is where I've gone and what i own 
       E5 
In my past  
E5 E5 E5 E5

hint: if you play the finger-picking pattern right,  
      to where you just dont do any picking on the 
      A or the D string, then instead of the full chords  
      you can just hold the single note on the G string. 
      Below is the tab for the finger picking that i do 
      for each chord on this song.
