D5                                     G   F
Tryin' to remember what my Daddy said
       D5                               G   F
Before too much time took away his head
              D5
He said we're goin' back and I'll show you what I'm 
         G   F
talkin' about
      D5
Goin' back to Cypress River, back to the old farm 
G     F 
house

word I said
                 D5
They say there's nothin' out there but wheatfields 
   G   F
anyway
         D5                                    
Just the farmer's wife hangin' laundry in her
    G    F
backyard
D5                                           G    F
Out on the prairie where winds blow long and hard

        D5                                     G    F
You can see into the future but it may be a mirage
D5
G   F
       D5                                  G    F
Like a new car sittin' there in your old garage

          D5
There's a place on the prairie where evil and 
         G    F
goodness play
      D5
Daddy told me all about it but I don't remember what 
   G    F
he said
   D5                                             
It might be afternoon and it might be the dead of 
G     F
night
           D5
But you'll know when you see it 'cause it sure is a 
        G     F
helluva sight
