Look In My Past

E Esus E2 E Esus E2 Esus

[Verse 1]
E                     Esus          E2          Esus
A little blond haired boy comes to mind
E                           Esus              E2         Esus
Though he's someone that I haven't seen in a long, long time
E                         Esus
He comes in late from his fishing hole
E2                       Esus
He missed his supper and now  it's cold
E                      Esus
Mama shakes a spoon as  he  walks by
      E2           Esus          E
But he sees a wink  in  her eye

[Chorus]
E                       A              E
I do not ask you why you look in your mirror
E                        A (finger-picking #2)
So why do you ask me why I
            E
look in my past

[Verse 2]
E Esus E2 Esus

E                            Esus
The moon is sneaking up over  my  memory's trees
E2                      Esus
Bull bats are skating through that evening breeze
E                            Esus
An old cow in lowing for her baby somewhere
E2                         Esus
The windmill creaks as it chops the air
E                               Esus
The dogs get kinda restless and trot off in the night
E2                        Esus
And two rabbits brave the yard when they're out of sight
E                              Esus                                 E2
The breeze speaks through the screen and says close your eyes
E2            Esus                 E
You're up too late for a boy your size

[Chorus]
E                       A              E
I do not ask you why you look in your mirror
E                        A (finger-picking #2)
So why do you ask me why I
            E
look in my past

[Bridge]
E Esus E2 Esus (4x)

E            Esus         E2     Esus
You say that  I   dream my life away
E                                 A
And you're partly right and you're partly wrong
        E                                      A (finger-picking #2)
But what you can't see is where I've gone

       E
In my past

E Esus E2 Esus

E            Esus       E2       Esus
You say that  I   dream my life away
E                                 A
And you're partly right and you're partly wrong
        E                                                  A (finger-picking #2)
But what you can't see is where I've gone and what i own
       E
In my past

E Esus E2 Esus

[Outro]
                                    E
