Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][G][C][F][C][G][C][Dm][G]

[Verse 1]
[C]While
window shopping [G]through the past
[C]I ran across a loo[F]king glass
Reflect[C]ing [G]moments remaining
in a burned out [C]light[G]
[C]Tragic magic pra[G]yers of passion
[C]Stay the same through
[F]changing fashions
They [C]freeze my mind like
[G]water on a winter's night
[C]

[Verse 2]
[D]Spent most of my youth
Out [G]hobo cruising
[D]And all I got for proof
Is [G]rocks in my pockets and dirt in my shoes
[C]So goodbye non[G]believer
[C]Don't you know that I hat[F]e to leave here
So [C]long babe,
[G]I got the[C] flashback blues

[Interlude 1]
[C][G][C][F][C][G][C]
[G]Photographs

[Verse 3]
show the laughs
[C]Recorded in bet[F]ween
the bad [C]times
Happy sail[G]ors dancing
on a sinking [C]ship[G]
[C]Cloudy skies and[G] dead fruit flies
[C]Waving goodbye with [F]tears
in my eye[C]s
Well, sure I made it but ya [G]know
it was as hell of a trip
[C][F][C]

[Verse 4]
[D]Spent most of my youth
Out [G]hobo [D]cruising
And all I got for proof
Is [G]rocks in my pockets and dirt in my shoes
And [C]ten [G]times what it grieves you
[C]That's how much more I
[F]hate to leave you now
[C]So long babe,
[G]I got the flashback blues

[Interlude 2]
[C][G][C][F][C][G]
[C][D]

[Verse 5]
Spent most of my [D]youth
Out [G]hobo cruising
[D]And all I got for proof
Is [G]rocks in my pockets and dirt in my shoes
So [C]goodbye non[G]believer
[C]Don't you know that I hat[F]e to leave here
So [C]long [G]babe, I got the [C]flash[F]back blues[C]
