[Verse 1]
C D
Could I only find the way back to the yesterdays
G E E7
To the golden days of my childhood play
F C
My life would be different, my enemies would be friends
D G
My leisures not wasted nor my life so full of sins.
A D G G7 C
If I could only find the way back to the days of my childhood play
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
C D
Could I only find those days as they were then
G E E7
The golden days to live all over a-gain
F C
My paths would not be empty, I'd make a mark in light
D G
My mother so happy and her hair not near so white
A D G G7 C
If I could only find the way back to the days of my childhood play
[Instrumental]
A A7 A A7 D D7 G G7 C
[Verse 3]
C D
Could I only find the days as they were seen
G E E7
And childish joys not speed away like dreams
F C
The schoolhouse on the hilltop and the meadows all in bloom
D G
The birdsong in the willow and not a world so full of gloom
A D G G7 C F C
If I could only find the way back to the days of my childhood pl-a-y
