Back In My Day chords by The Handsome Family

Back in My Day
From the album Unseen

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

C Cm G D
