Topic: Nothing but play

Hi
I know a few nostalgic songs have been posted by older Chordians so heres my mine smile

Regards

Arkady






Nothing but play Arkady


1




[G] Oh how I remember[A7] the summers of long ago


[C] When the sun always seemed to [G] shine.


[G] I would go wandering [A7] through the woods


[C] AndI thought my childhood would always be [G] mine




Chorus


[C] Now I’m much[D] older and my[G] childhoodnow seems so far [C] away


[D] A time when all my summers were[C] nothing but [G] play




2




[G] The times I spent swimming and[A7] walking on the mud


[C] Building dams to hold to hold back [G] the tide


[G] But no matter how well they were built [A7]they couldn’t hold the water back


[C] just like the time that’s past us [G] by





Chorus


3




[G] There were times I recall thatdad [A7] took me on his bike


[C] Seated in a little chair of my [G] own


[G] We collected conkers that had [A7] fallen from the trees


[C] And on that old bike we would [G] roam




Chorus


3




[G] Climbing trees and exploring [A7] dark woods


[C] Playing with my friends I would have [G] fun


[G] Splashing through the brook [A7] unaware of passing time


[C] Coming home red from catching the [G] sun




Chorus

Hi Arkady,

A lot of memories brought back with this song. The G, A7, C, G progression works really well in the verse too. Well done.

Thank you,

Roger

Sorry you couldn't  get any volume on myspace. Not sure why seems to be ok here. Myspace plays up a bit sometimes.
Thanks.

Hi Ark,
Hows my Stroll Mate?
Lovely song. I carry my childhood everyday with me. In a positive happy way.

Yes! My brothers always beat me in the game of Conkers!  My chestnut always split right down the middle. I think i should have been a boy. More strength somehow!

Re: Nothing but play

Hi
Selso thanks for the kind comment. I like the bit Miss Arklady smile

Lena. Nice to have you back with again. I guess we all missed you and your posts.
Conkers.... Well over the pond and else where I wasn't sure if they would know what they were.
I once had a 20'er hard as rock when it finally gave up the ghost it was like shrapnel from a bomb.
