INTRO:      D    A     G     A

            D                          A
            Got a big leather suitcase, all I own's inside.
            G                            G
            Seems I been walkin' for days, can't even bum a ride.
            D                      A
            Try steppin' to a tune, with the rhythm of a walking man;
            G                               G
            Mind drifts like a big balloon, out of my situation at hand.


D                    A      G                 A
Ain't it funny how a melody, can bring back a memory?
D                   A             G           A                    D     A
G   A
Take you to another place in time, completely change your state of mind.


            D                             A
            Walkin' down a lonely highway, not feelin' alone;
            G                                    G
            Thinkin' back when things went my way, and not the road I'm on.
            D                                  A
            Well, I've been down a time or two, but it never lasts long;
            G                            G
            I can always make it through, on a wing and a prayer and a song.


D                    A      G                 A
Ain't it funny how a melody, can bring back a memory?
D                   A             G           A                    D    D[stop]
Take you to another place in time, completely change your state of mind.


D             A                  G                A
It can make a right from a wrong, it can make you fall in love.
D              A                        G                        A
It can get you singin' along, chase the clouds away and make the sun shine
 D        A      G                 A
above.  A melody, can bring back a memory.
D                   A             G           A
Take you to another place in time, completely change your state of
D        A      G                 A
mind.  A melody, can bring back a memory.
D                   A             G           A                    D
Take you to another place in time, completely change your state of mind.
