[Verse 1]
G C
Packin’ up my things after twenty years together
G D
Got my banjo, some clothes, and boots of spanish leather
G C
I was about to leave, then it dawned on me, there was one more thing to get
G D G
The old wooden box great granny gave me where my memories are kept
[Verse 2]
C
The old hinge cried out when I cracked the lid, to a place I ain't seen in years
G D
All those photographs of times gone by, my eyes filled with tears
G C
It took me back, felt like I was at, a time when I was young
G D G
When the old wooden box was new to me, in the winter of eighty-one.
[Chorus]
C G
Time moves on and before you know it, forty years have past,
C G D
Good times were had, some were sad, nothing ever lasts.
C G C
But there is a place, that is safe, in the dark behind the locks
G D G
Where my memories are kept, in the old wooden box.
[Verse 3]
C
Here’s one of Pop, when I was six, look at those lamb chops
G D
There’s Hill and Pete, dancin’ like fools, pullin’ out all the stops
G C
Then there’s me, lookin’ like a string bean, holdin’ up a fish
G D G
And times with my great granny, oh how I wish.
[Chorus]
C G
Time moves on and before you know it, forty years have past,
C G D
Good times were had, some were sad, nothing ever lasts.
C G C
But there is a place, that is safe, in the dark behind the locks
G D G
Where my memories are kept, in the old wooden box.
[Verse 4]
C
Now over the hill, I close my eyes, sit back and reflect
G D
A life gone by, not knowing what, next to expect
G C
I see the places, and many faces, I’d almost forgot
G D G
If not for the memories, in the old wooden box
[Chorus]
C G
Time moves on and before you know it, forty years have past,
C G D
Good times were had, some were sad, nothing ever lasts.
C G C
But there is a place, that is safe, in the dark behind the locks
G D G
Where my memories are kept, in the old wooden box.
G D G
Where my memories are kept, in the old wooden box.
