Intro: Verse 1: A little blond haired boy comes to mind Though he's someone that I haven't seen in a long, long time He comes in late from his fishing hole He missed his supper and now it's cold Mama shakes a spoon as he walks by But he sees a wink in her eye I do not ask you why you look in your mirror (finger-picking #2) So why do you ask me why I look in my past Verse 2: The moon is sneaking up over my memory's trees Bull bats are skating through that evening breeze An old cow in lowing for her baby somewhere The windmill creaks as it chops the air The dogs get kinda restless and trot off in the night And two rabbits brave the yard when they're out of sight The breeze speaks through the screen and says close your eyes You're up too late for a boy your size CHORUS Bridge: (4x) You say that I dream my life away And you're partly right and you're partly wrong (finger-picking #2) But what you can't see is where I've gone In my past You say that I dream my life away And you're partly right and you're partly wrong (finger-picking #2) But what you can't see is where I've gone and what i own In my past Outro: A little blond haired boy comes to mind ------------------------------------ hint: if you play the finger-picking pattern right, to where you just dont do any picking on the A or the string, then instead of the full chords you can just hold the single note on the string. Below is the tab for the finger picking that i do for each chord on this song. |---0---0---------| |---0-----0---0---| |---1-1-----1-----| |-----------------| |-----------------| |---0-------------| |---0---0---------| |---0-----0---0---| |---2-2-----2-----| |-----------------| |-----------------| |---0-------------| |---0---0---------| |---0-----0---0---| |---4-4-----4-----| |-----------------| |-----------------| |---0-------------| A (normal finger-picking) |---0---0---------| |---2-----2---2---| |---2-2-----2-----| |-----------------| |---0-------------| |-----------------| A (finger-picking #2) |---0---0-----0-----0-------| |---2-----2-----2-----2-----| |---2-2-----2-----2-----2---| |---------------------------| |---0-----------------------| |---------------------------|
