Tom : G
G
Just a few old memories
C
Slipped in through my door
G
Though I thought I had closed it
D7
So tightly before
G
I can't understand it
C
Why it should bother my mind
G
For it all belongs to
D7 G
Another place and time
C
Just a few old keep-sakes
G
Way back on the shelf
C
No they don't mean nothing
D7
Well I'm surprised they're still left
G
Just a few old love letters
C
With the edges all brown
G
And an old faded picture
D7 G
I keep turned upside down
Just a few old memories
C
Going way back in time
G
Well I can hardly remember
D7
I don't know why I'm crying
G
I can't understand it
C
Well I'm surprising myself
G
First thing tomorrow morning
D7 G
I'll clean off that shelf
