The Things That Matter Most To Me

A E A


[Verse]


A                           A7      D
Yes there are many precious mem'ries that I'd like to recall
A                                                     E
And there are some things that I would surely like to forget
     A                      A7  D
I've been up Lord I've been down and sometimes just in between
A                      E
But you know something neighbors I haven't reached
      A
To my highest mountain yet


[Verse 2]

A               A7      D
Yes I know Gods bless me time and time and time and time again
A                                    E
And these blessings for exceeding my deepest woe
A                    A7        D
I've had the help of loved ones and many friends who stood by me
A                      E                             A
And without their favor I would have given up a long long time ago


[Bridge]

D                         A
I remember my boyhood days back in Faraday Louisiana
B                     E
I remember the summers and that cool Louisiana rain


[Verse 3]

A                 A7                     D
You know sometimes I wish I could go back and relive yesterday
A               E                   A
and for a while be my mama's little boy again
A             A7
You know folks the things that matter most in this
D
Old world money just can't buy
A                           E
Sweet love precious mem'ries that will live on and on and on
A                  A7                        D
And I remember Lord when I stumble sometimes fall I wonder why
A                E                        A
But I'll remember that I will never never never walk alone
A                  E                                              A
Yes these precious memories are the things that matter most to me
