Sweet Memories

          G         G/F#
There's a town by a river
      Em             D            
And a dirt road that runs through 
    C     C/B      Am     D
the town, winding around
         G             G/F#
And As a child I would daydream
      Em              D            
Where that road might take me when 
C            C/B         Am    G
my time for leaving came down
         G          G/F#         
And each night I'd awaken from a 
Em          C
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       
'Til it turns to that dirt road 
   G
again


      G       G/F#
Now I live in city
     Em      D            C       
With manmade mountains of steel to
 C/B           Am     D
 block out the sky
         G        G/F#
And that river of traffic
     Em         D      C     C/B
That runs by my window never 
          Am   D
seems to run dry
      G            G/F#       Em 
And tonight before sleeping I 
         C
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       
'Til it turns to that dirt road 
   G
again


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