Hanging on to the Memories By Jeff Gilpin
May 7th, 2008
Intro
[D7]
Chorus
Hanging on to the [G]memories until my dying [D]day
I'll try and re[A]member so they don’t fade a[D]way [D7]
Memories so [G]special they fill me in[D]side
So time's not for[A]gotten and helps me a[D]bide
Verse 1
I remember the [G]mountains I’d play out all [D]day
From sunrise to [A]sunset outside I did [D]stay [D7]
My steep sloping [G]mountains nary a [D]car
Would disturb my [A]mountain that ranged wide and [D]far [D7]
Chorus
Hanging on to the [G]memories until my dying [D]day
I'll try and re[A]member so they don’t fade a[D]way [D7]
Memories so [G]special they fill me in[D]side
So time's not for[A]gotten and helps me a[D]bide
Verse 1
Then off to the [G]city but not far a[D]way
I still could see [A]them on off in the [D]grey[D7]
Made me some [G]friends there all of them [D]true
Still growing up [A]country in those ridges so [D]blue [D7]
Chorus
Hanging on to the [G]memories until my dying [D]day
I'll try and re[A]member so they don’t fade a[D]way [D7]
Memories so [G]special they fill me in[D]side
So time's not for[A]gotten and helps me a[D]bide
Verse 1
Eventually I left [G]them and in the world I did [D]find
My life in the [A]mountains would be left far be[D]hind [D7]
But the world’s full of [G]people a wide varie[D]ty
And I hoped that they all [A]would be friend with [D]me [D7]
Chorus
Hanging on to the [G]memories until my dying [D]day
I'll try and re[A]member so they don’t fade a[D]way [D7]
Memories so [G]special they fill me in[D]side
So time's not for[A]gotten and helps me a[D]bide
Verse 1
Friends I did make [G]there as I lived far and [D]wide
Though not from my [A]mountains they were still good in[D]side [D7]
Met one friend so [G]special from a land far a[D]way
So much like my [A]mountains she’s still with me to[D]day [D7]
Chorus
Hanging on to the [G]memories until my dying [D]day
I'll try and re[A]member so they don’t fade a[D]way [D7]
Memories so [G]special they fill me in[D]side
So time's not for[A]gotten and helps me a[D]bide
Verse 1
Now I’ll not for[G]get the roads I’ve been [D]down
All over this [A]wide world now I’ve come back a[D]round [D7]
To the land in the [G]foothills though not mountains it’s [D]true
One day I’ll get [A]back there until then what I’ll [D]do …[D7]is
Chorus
Hang on to the [G]memories until my dying [D]day
I'll try and re[A]member so they don’t fade a[D]way [D7]
Memories so [G]special they fill me in[D]side
So time's not for[A]gotten and helps me a[G]bide [D]
