Topic: Trips A Days
I was thinking about my early days in the military, when I lived in West Germany as it was called at the time. I gave the song a kind of folky sound with the chords.

Verse Dm D Dm D C/G Am7 C/G Am7 G… Chorus F C G D X2
[__].
I [Dm]knew a girl, she was pe[D]culiar.
She’d [Dm]stare with mischievous [D]eyes.
She’d [C/G]say things you’d never ex[Am7]pect
[C/G]Just to catch your [Am7]look of sur[G]prise.
[__].
She’d [Dm]talk in a voice me[D]lodic.
Was [Dm]mesmerizing just to [D]hear.
She’d [C/G]leave your head a [Am7]spinning
[C/G]Like someone [Am7]might have dosed your [G]beer [D]
[__].
[F]In my misspent [C]days of [G]youth
[F]In my days left [C]far be[G]hind
That [F]I will [C]sometimes [G]visit
In my [F]trips going [C]back in [G]time... [D]
[__].
A friend of mine I met long ago
And have misplaced over the years.
We’d visit places far and wide
That now have disappeared.
[__].
Towns of medieval history
With stories yet to be told.
We’d travel from one to another
Upon this ancient road.
[__].
[F]In my well spent [C]days of [G]youth
[F]In my days left [C]far be[G]hind
That [F]I will [C]sometimes [G]visit
In my [F]trips going [C]back in [G]time ...[D]
[__].
The trips I take from time to time
To places where I’ve been
Reflect the people that I’ve known,
And may never see again.
[__].
Like some faded pictures,
Photographs put away,
But brought out from time to time
When I’m feeling this way ….when I’m
[__].
[F]Missing my [C]days of [G]youth,
[F]My days left [C]far be[G]hind.
[F]I will [C]visit these[G] places when I can
Taking [F]trips … [C]going back in [G]time... [Dm] [D]
