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 Quicksie, 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
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
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

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
Intro Strumming Tab
To play the strumming pattern & bassline riff heard on the album in the intro (and during the verses at times), refer to this tab. This shows an alternating bass note (between the 5th and 4th string) and a frequent hammer-on of the middle finger onto the 4th string's E note. Note, the hammer-on isn't used 100% of the time -- though this isn't about an exact science. Listen along for the idea and use this as you see fit.
