Verse 1: 
 
E                     Esus          E2          Esus 
A little blond haired boy comes to mind 
 
E                           Esus              E2         Esus 
Though he's someone that I haven't seen in a long, long time 
 
E                         Esus 
He comes in late from his fishing hole 
 
E2                       Esus 
He missed his supper and now  it's cold 
 
E                      Esus 
Mama shakes a spoon as  he  walks by

But he sees a wink  in  her eye 

 

[Refrão]
E                       A              E 
I do not ask you why you look in your mirror 
 
E                        A (finger-picking #2) 
So why do you ask me why I 
 
            E 
look in my past 
 
 
Verse 2: 
E Esus E2 Esus 
 
 
E                            Esus 
The moon is sneaking up over  my  memory's trees 
 
E2                      Esus 
Bull bats are skating through that evening breeze 
 
E                            Esus 
An old cow in lowing for her baby somewhere 
 
E2                         Esus 
The windmill creaks as it chops the air 
 
E                               Esus 
The dogs get kinda restless and trot off in the night 
 
E2                        Esus 
And two rabbits brave the yard when they're out of sight 
 
E                              Esus                                 E2 
The breeze speaks through the screen and says close your eyes 
 
E2            Esus                 E 
You're up too late for a boy your size 
 
 
CHORUS

You say that  I   dream my life away 
 
E                                 A 
And you're partly right and you're partly wrong 
 
        E                                      A (finger-picking #2) 
But what you can't see is where I've gone 
 
       E 
In my past  
 
E Esus E2 Esus 
 
 
E            Esus       E2       Esus 
You say that  I   dream my life away 
 
E                                 A 
And you're partly right and you're partly wrong 
 
        E                                                  A (finger-picking #2) 
But what you can't see is where I've gone and what i own 
 
       E 
In my past  
 
E Esus E2 Esus

hint: if you play the finger-picking pattern right,  
      to where you just dont do any picking on the 
      A or the D string, then instead of the full chords  
      you can just hold the single note on the G string. 
      Below is the tab for the finger picking that i do 
      for each chord on this song.
