[Intro]
C
[Verse]
C F C
I'd give anything to go back, to days I was young
C G C
All the way back to old Panbowl
C F C
I'd sit down on the lake bed, stare at the sun
C G C
Then I'd walk out in the water, let it cleanse my soul
C F C
Spend my days up on quicksand, and, there I would play
C G C
Wild as a rattlesnake, right from the start
C F C
I'd push August in, and, swing all day
C G C
Well, she was the first girl ever broke my heart
[Chorus]
F
Miss the days when this old life
C
Was free from all this pain and strife
C G
And all... the sorrow it has brung
F
I'd give anything to go
C F
All the way back to Panbowl
C G C
All the way back to days when I was young
[Verse]
C F C
Spend my summers hearing stories, about the one that got away
C G C
On the dock down at Watt's bar every, fourth of July
C F C
Uncle Everett was the coolest, never had a word to say
C G C
When he died's the only time I ever seen Papaw cry
C F C
Every Sunday we'd go visit my great grandma Mary Ann
C G C
Lord I cry, just thinking 'bout how good she was to me
C F C
My great granddad Elijah was a, coal mining man
C G C
Not a tooth in his head, but his eyes held the sea
[Chorus] repeat:
F
Miss the days when this old life
C
Was free from all this pain and strife
C G
And all... the sorrow it has brung
F
I'd give anything to go
C F
All the way back to Panbowl
C G C
All the way back to days when I was young
[Instrumental Break]:
Am . . . Am . . . C . . . C . . .
Am . . . Am . . . G . . . G . . .
[Outro:] (single strums)
F C
I'd climb up on High Top, stare out as far as I could see
C G C
At the one and only home my heart has ever known
Notes: Use frequent hammer-ons on the 4th string while in C formation during the intro and throughout
the entire song. A walk up on the 4th string when transitioning from C to F in the verses sounds nice.
