"Souvenirs" by Dan Fogelberg  1973 (?)

You have to sing this, like, really high...


Intro:  C  C/B C/Bb  F   G  Bb  F

C         C/B          C/Bb     F
Here is a poem that my lady set down
 
    G                  Bb    F
One morning when I was away,

C            C/B       C/Bb          F  
Wrote on the back of a leaf that she found,

G                     Bb   F   Bb   F
Somewhere around Monterey.

And here is a key to a house far away,
Where I used to live as a child,
They tore down the building when I moved away,
And left the key unreconciled.


Bridge:
    Am          Am/G       Am/F#           F
And down in the canyon the smoke starts to rise,

   Am           Am/G         Am/F#        F
It rides on the wind 'til it reaches your eyes,

     Am             Am/G      Am/F#         F
When faced with the past, the strongest man cries,  
 
   F      G
He cries....

<verse instrumental>

<repeat bridge>

 
And here is a sunrise to set on your sill,
The ghosts of the dawn moving near,
They pass through your sorrow and leave you quite still,
Sitting among souvenirs...
