The Handsome Family - Back In My Day Chords

[INTRO]
Em C G D

[VERSE 1]
        C
We had maps that unfolded 
 Cm
back in my day
            G
You could drink from the river
        Em
We had gods made of clay
            C
There were mile-high glaciers, 
    Cm
no locks on the doors
      G
The stars burned brighter 
          D
We never counted past four
         C
And the birds were always watching 
            Cm
There were monsters in the sea
         G
We wore watches on our wrists 
             D
There were ghosts in the trees

[CHORUS]

Em
Way back in the days, 
            C
you're too young to have seen,
          G
When the nights were darker, 
 D
longer and deep

[INTERLUDE]

Am Em G D

[VERSE 2]

       C
There was no time or space 
     Cm
when I was growing up
        G
We had summer all winter 
     Em
The moon rose with the sun
     C
And music sounded better 
  Cm
Recorded on rings of ice
            G
And as the songs turned to water 
    D
we couldn't help but cry

[CHORUS]

Em
Way back in the good days, 
    C
the ones you didn't see,
      G
When everything was better, 
 D
darker and deep

[OUTRO]

Am Em G D
