Capo 4
 
Intro G C G C
 
verse 1
 
G
I'd put my little hand inside his hand
Em
And I'd try to match his steps the best I can
C G
And seeds, like little travelers, kept clinging to my clothes as we were going
G
And the sun heard our applause and took a bow
Em
Lit up late afternoon like he knows how
C G
And we'd walk across the pasture, 'cause whatever we were after it was golden
 
[Refrão] C Em
'Cause good things never change
C D
Though life brings yesterdays
G Em C G
Memories, like honey, grow sweeter still with time
C D G C
And I'd never trade anyone's for mine
 
verse 2
 
G
It's still clear as if it were only yesterday
Em
I hear the screen door slam as I run out to play
C G
And we'd talk while he was workin', like the bees do when they're flirting with the flowers
 
We'd laugh away the hours
 
[Refrão] C Em
'Cause good things never change
C D
Though life brings yesterdays
G Em C G
Well, memories, like honey, grow sweeter still with time
C D G C
And I'd never trade anyone's for mine
 
Bridge
 
Em D G C
He showed me how to build a dream
Em D G C
He taught me what it means to see forever
Em D G C
And he means everything to me
Em D C
We kept promises in fields and dreams and bees together
 
[Refrão] C Em
'Cause good things never change
C D
Though life brings yesterdays
G Em C G
The memories, like honey, grow sweeter still with time
C D G C
And I'd never trade anyone's for mine
G C
Oooh ooh oh
