through

my

clos-

the

oth-

er

day,__

I

found

an

Bb/D

old

year-

book,__

flipped

right

to

the

page__

of

that

Fm

Eb/G

se-

nior

trip__

down

there

on

that

Ab

Pan-a-

ma

strip.

We

Eb

all

start-

ed

yell-

in'

when

we

smelled

the

beach,__

Bb/D

could-

n't

wait__

to

try

our

fake

I.

D.'s__

We

on-

ly

Fm

Eb/G

had a

few

days,__

but

a

whole

lot

of

Ab

mem-

'ries

to

make.__

Oh,

Eb

this

past

year__

my

fam-

Bb/D

sit-

tin'

cross-

lis-

Fm

Eb/G

to

Grand-

dad.

We

all

knew

it'd

prob-

Ab

be

his

last.

He

was

Eb

crack-

jokes__

and

we

were

tak-

Out

on

the

Fm

Eb/G

porch

with

him__

we

all

felt

like

Ab

kids

a-

gain.__

Oh,

Eb

Just

the

oth-

was

cry-n',__

so

I

Bb/D

got

out

of

and

rocked__

her

a

while__

and

I

Fm

Eb/G

held

her

tight.__

And

I

told

her

it

would

Ab

be

al-

right.

And

my

Eb

mind

went__

back

to

a

few

years

a-

go__

when

we

Bb/D

tried

so

long___

we

al-

most

gave

up

hope.__

And
