Intro:
C G C F
C G C
C G
While window shopping through the past
C F
I ran across a looking glass
C G C
Reflecting moments remaining in a burned out light
C G
Tragic magic prayers of passion
C F
Stay the same through changing fashions
C G C
They freeze my mind like water on a winter's night
Chorus:
D
Spent most of my youth
G
Out hobo cruising
D
And all I got for proof
G
Is rocks in my pockets and dirt in my shoes
C G
So goodbye nonbeliever
C F
Don't you know that I hate to leave here
C G C
So long babe, I got the flashback blues.
(Repeat Intro)
C G
Photographs show the laughs
C F
Recorded in between the bad times
C G C
Happy sailors dancing on a sinking ship
C G
Cloudy skies and dead fruit flies
C F
Waving goodbye with tears in my eyes
C G C
Well sure I made it but ya know it was as hell of a trip.
(Repeat Chorus)
C G
And ten times what it grieves you
C F
That's how much more I hate to leave you now
C G C
So long babe, I got the flashback blues.
(Repeat intro)
(Repeat chorus)
C G
So goodbye nonbeliever
C F
Don't you know that I hate to leave here
C G C
So long babe, I got the flashback blues.
