Souvenirs – John Prine

D G A7 D

All the snow has turned to water, Christmas days have come and gone

D G A7 D

Broken toys and faded colors, are all that's left to linger on

D G A7 D

I hate graveyards and old pawnshops, for they always bring me tears

D G A7 D

Can't forgive the way they rob me, of my childhood souvenirs

(Chorus:)

A D A D

Memories, that can't be boughten, can't be won at carnivals for free

A D

It took me years, to get those souvenirs

G G A

And I don't know how they slipped away from me

D G A7 D

Broken hearts and dirty windows, make life difficult to see

D G A7 D

That's why last night and this morning, always look the same to me

D G A7 D

I hate reading old love letters, for they always bring me tears

D G A7 D

Can't forgive the way they rob me, of my sweetheart souvenirs

(repeat chorus) Prepared by Mike Martin
