I Knew This Place Ukulele Chords
I [F]knew this place, I knew it well, [Bb]every sound and [F]every smell,
And [Bb]every time I [F]walked I fell, for the [Gm]first two years or [C]so.
[F]There across the grassy yard, [Bb]I a young one [F]runnin’ hard.
[Bb]Brown and bruised and [F]battle scarred and [Bb]lost in [C]sweet il[F]lusion.
And [F]from my window I can see the [Bb]fingers of an [F]ancient tree.
[Bb]Reaching out it [F]calls to me to [Gm]climb its surly [C]branches.
But [F]all my climbing days are gone, and [Bb]these tired legs I’m [F]standin’ on
Would [Bb]scarcely dare to [F]leave the spot u[Bb]pon which [C]they are [F]standin’.
And [C]I remember [Bb]every word of [Gm]every voice I [F]ever heard,
[Bb]Every frog and [F]every bird, yes, [Gm]this is where it [C]starts.
A [F]brother’s laugh, the sighing wind, [Bb]this is where my [F]life begins.
[Bb]This is where I [F]learned to use my [Bb]hands and [C]hear my [F]heart.
This [F]house is old, it carries on, like [Bb]verses to an [F]old time song,
[Bb]Always changed but [F]never gone, this [Gm]house can stand the [C]seasons.
Our [F]lives pass on from door to door, [Bb]dust a crossed the [F]wooden floor,
Like [Bb]feather rain and [F]thunder roar, we [Bb]need not [C]know the [F]reason.
And [C]as these thoughts come [Bb]back to me like [Gm]ships across a [F]friendly sea,
Like [Bb]breezes blowing [F]endlessly, like [Gm]rivers running [C]deep.
The [F]day is done. The lights are low, the [Bb]wheels of life are [F]turning slow
And [Bb]as these visions [F]turn and go, I [Bb]lay me [C]down to [F]sleep.
I [F]knew this place, I knew it well, [Bb]every sound and [F]every smell,
And [Bb]every time I [F]walked I fell, for the [Gm]first two years or [C]so.
[F]The day is done. The lights are low, the [Bb]wheels of life are [F]turning slow
And [Bb]as these visions [F]turn and go, I [Bb]lay me [C]down to [F]sleep.
