G A
If I could, I'd make this song
D
Look just like a farmhouse
G A
At the end of a long strip of dust
D
Where my grandparents lived
A D
Alfalfa would sparkle in the firefly light
A D
Me and my cousins would chase them all night
G A
If I could, I'd make this song
D
An old Kansas farmhouse
G D
We were too young to know about memories
G A
The way that some glow and some fade
If I could, I'd make this song
Sound just like a tractor
You'd hear it pull up and shut down
When the dinner bell rings
Everybody wash up
We're eatin' and that's that
Put your boots by the back door
And your hats on the rack
If I could, I'd make this song
An old John Deere tractor
G D
We were too young to know about memories
G A
The way that some glow and some fade
G A F#m
It's September fourteenth nineteen sixty-six
G A D
It's ninety-four in the shade
G A D
And this is how memories are made
If I could, I'd make this song
Taste just like fried chicken
With gravy and green beans and
Potatoes whipped white as the snow
With corn and green jell-o
And some kind of dressing
And I can't remember
Just who said the blessing
But if I could, I'd make this song
A plate of fried chicken.
