I Just Came Home To Count The Memories by John Anderson
I Just Came Home To Count The Memories
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
D G D
I saw roses choking in the grass, flaking paint and a broken window pane
D Bm A
A mailbox barely standing by the driveway, I can almost read the name
G D
A swing-set and forgotten toys where little girls and boys played happy games
Bm
D A D
Everything I ever cared about is gone now, but the memory still remains
[Verse 2]
D G D
The old man from the house across the street asked, “How’s it goin’” and I
said “Fine”
D Bm A
But the expression on his face would make me think, that he could almost read
my mind.
G D
That Johnson boy from down the road was askin’ if the kids could come and play
Bm
D A
Lord I wish I could have told him yes, but I just said, I guess no, not
D
today.
[Chorus]
D G A
I just came home to count the memories
A D C
That I’ve been counting in my mind
G A
I just came home to count the memories
A D
Of a better day and time
[Verse 2]
D G
All the birds that sang their pretty songs aren’t singing like they did when
D
we were here
D Bm A
Cause there’s no happiness in music if somebody isn’t close enough to care
G D Bm
I picked a ragged daisy from it’s home out in the corner the yard
D A D
She loves me - She loves me not, Now I don’t have to wonder anymore
[Chorus]
D G A
I just came home to count the memories
A D C
That I’ve been counting in my mind
G A
I just came home to count the memories
A D
Of a better day and time
