----------------------------------
Ignore the "(finger-picking #2)" and the "hint section" at the
bottom if you want to just strum the song
"E2" is not the actual name of the chord, i called it that for lack
of anything else to call it. The fingering for all the chords is
at the end of the song, just scroll down to see it. If you know
the proper name for my "E2" chord, please email me at [email protected]
In my opinion, this song just really loses something if you dont take
the time (and it does take time) to get good at finger-picking it.

Intro:
E Esus E2 E Esus E2 Esus
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
E2 Esus E
But he sees a wink in her eye
Chorus:
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
Bridge:
E Esus E2 Esus (4x)
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
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
Outro:
E
A little blond haired boy comes to mind

A - x 0 3 3 3 0
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.
