Email: Tuning: Standard Artist: John Prine Album: John Prine Year: 1971 * = strum once [Intro] [Verse 1] While window shopping through the past I ran across a looking glass Reflecting moments remaining in a burned out light Tragic magic prayers of passion Stay the same through changing fashions They freeze my mind like water on a winter’s night [Pre-Chorus] Spent most of my youth Out hobo cruising And all I got for proof Is rocks in my pockets and dirt in my shoes [Chorus] So goodbye nonbeliever Don’t you know that I hate to leave here So long babe I got the flashback blues. [Instrumental] [Verse 2] Photographs show the laughs Recorded in between the bad times Happy sailors dancing on a sinking ship Cloudy skies and dead fruit flies Waving goodbye with tears in my eyes Well sure I made it but ya know it was as hell of a trip. [Pre-Chorus] Spent most of my youth Out hobo cruising And all I got for proof Is rocks in my pockets and dirt in my shoes [Chorus] So goodbye nonbeliever Don’t you know that I hate to leave here So long babe I got the flashback blues. [Verse 3] And ten times what it grieves you That’s how much more I hate to leave you now So long babe I got the flashback blues. [Instrumental] [Pre-Chorus] Spent most of my youth Out hobo cruising And all I got for proof Is rocks in my pockets and dirt in my shoes [Chorus] So goodbye nonbeliever Don’t you know that I hate to leave here So long babe I got the flashback blues. [Outro] So goodbye nonbeliever Don’t you know that I hate to leave here So long babe I got the flashback blues.
