Titel: A Few Short Years Ago
Artist: Anita Carter
Album: Ring Of Fire (1981)
Orig.: D
G
I went back to the village, Tom
C G
And sat beneath the tree,
Upon the schoolhouse playground
A D D7
Which one sheltered you and me;
G
But none were there to greet me, Tom
C G
And few were left to know
That played with us upon the gras
D G
A few short years ago
C
I stood and gazed upon the tree
G
Where you once called our names
C
I loved you then with all my heart
G D C Bm G
And that has never changed
G
The tree is old and tired, Tom
C G
It's dying sure but slow
Soon it will die just as you died
D G
A few short years ago
G
The grass is just as green, Tom
C G
With barefooted boys at play
They're playing games that we played then
A D
With spirits just as gay.
G
The same old bricks are in the wall
C G
The bell swings to and fro
And sounds just like it sounded, Tom
D G
A few short years ago
C
I went up to the churchyard, Tom
G
Did you know I was there
C
And did you hear me praying, Tom
G D Am G
We'd meet again somewhere
G
You see I'd never married, Tom
C G
I've only had one vow
And as you know that vow was you
D G
A few short years ago
