Chords and lyrics for The Song Remembers When by Trisha Yearwood (key of D, capo 3).
Intro
[D] [G] [D] [G] [D]
Verse 1
[A7]I was standing at the counter, I was waiting for the change
[A7]When I heard that old familiar music start
[A7]It was like a lighted match had been tossed into my soul
[A7]It was like a dam had broken in my heart
Chorus
[G]After taking every detour, getting lost and losing track
[D]So that even if I wanted, I could not find my way back
[G]After driving out the memory of the way things might have been
[A7]After I'd forgotten all about us
[D]The song remembers when
Verse 2
[A7]We were rolling through the Rockies, we were up above the clouds
[A7]When a station out of Jackson played that song
[A7]And it seemed to fit the moment, and the moment seemed to freeze
[A7]When we turned the music up and sang along
Chorus
[G]And there was a god in heaven, and the world made perfect sense
[D]We were young and were in love, and we were easy to convince
[G]We were headed straight for Eden, it was just around the bend
[A7]And though I have forgotten all about it
[D]The song remembers when
Bridge
[G]I guess something must have happened
[Bm]And we must have said good-bye
[E7]And my heart must have been broken
[A7]Though I can't recall just why
[D]The song remembers when
Verse 3
[A7]Well, for all the miles between us, and for all the time that's past
[A7]You would think I haven't gotten very far
[A7]And I hope my hasty heart, will forgive me just this once
[A7]If I stop to wonder how on earth you are
Chorus
[G]But that's just a lot of water, underneath a bridge I burned
[D]And there's no use in backtracking, around corners I have turned
[G]Still I guess some things we bury, are just bound to rise again
[A7]For even if the whole world has forgotten
[D]The song remembers when
Outro
[A7]Yeah, and even if the whole world has forgotten
[D]The song remembers when
[G] [D] [G] [D]
