Sweet Memories

          G         G/F#
There's a town by a river
      Em             D                C     C/B      Am     D
And a dirt road that runs through the town, winding around
         G             G/F#
And As a child I would daydream
      Em              D            C            C/B         Am    G
Where that road might take me when my time for leaving came down
         G          G/F#         Em          C
And each night I'd awaken from a dream I was taking
         G         D           G
That old dirt road out of this town


CHORUS:
C     D        B    Em
Sweet memories keep haunting me
C          G           Am       D
Calling me like an old friend
    G           G/F#
And I pray that someday
Em             C
I'll ride this halfway
        G             D          G
'Til it turns to that dirt road again


      G       G/F#
Now I live in city
     Em      D            C        C/B           Am     D
With manmade mountains of steel to block out the sky
         G        G/F#
And that river of traffic
     Em         D      C     C/B          Am   D
That runs by my window never seems to run dry
      G            G/F#       Em          C
And tonight before sleeping I pray God is keeping
     G              D        G
That old place that I left behind


CHORUS:
C     D        B    Em
Sweet memories keep haunting me
C          G           Am       D
Calling me like an old friend
    G           G/F#
And I pray that someday
Em             C
I'll ride this halfway
        G             D          G
'Til it turns to that dirt road again


       C      D
In the city tonight
       B            Em
When I turn out the light
        G               D          G
I'll be riding that old dirt road again
