Chord/Tab song: The Shoebox

Capo 3



Key of Bb

Verse:

I [C9]stumbled on a bunch of [G]junk of mine

In a [C9]shoebox the other [G]night

In [C9]between cleaning up [G]files and messes

That [Em]I'd made of my [D]life

Verse 2:

Ticket [C9]stubs, poems and old [G]letters

I [C9]dumped them all out on the [G]bed

Found a [C9]homemade birthday [G]card from mom

And [D]this is [C9]what it [G]said, yeah, [D]this is [C9]what it [G]said

Chorus:

Don't [C9]forget the little [G]moments

They're the [C9]ones that mean the [G]most

When the [C9]way home seems so far [G]away

Take 'em[Em] out and hold th[D]em close

And take a [C9]picture with your [G]father

'Cause [C9]one day he'll be [G]gone

And don't [C9]forget to fill an [G]old shoebox

Full of [D]things to [C9]look back [G]on, full of [D]things to [C9]look back [G]on

Verse 3:

I opened [C9]up my grandpa's [G]pocket knife

And I was [C9]back to his back [G]porch

It was [C9]summertime I was [G]turnin' nine

He said, "You [Em]want that knife? It's [D]yours"

Verse 4:

I re[C9]member runnin' off [G]in the yard

Carved my [C9]name in every [G]tree

I haven't [C9]held it since he [G]passed away

And it [D]meant the [C9]world to [G]me

Because [D]he meant the [C9]world to [G]me


Chorus:

Don't [C9]forget the little [G]moments

They're the [C9]ones that mean the [G]most

When the [C9]way home seems so far [G]away

Take 'em[Em] out and hold th[D]em close

And take a [C9]picture with your [G]father

'Cause [C9]one day he'll be [G]gone

And don't [C9]forget to fill an [G]old shoebox

Full of [D]things to [C9]look back [G]on,

Bridge:

Look back [C9]on, a little [D]window to the past

Look back [C9]on, God knows [D]life goes by so fast

If [Em]ever you should [C9]ever doubt the [G]blessings that you've [D]had

Chorus:

Don't [C9]forget the little [G]moments

They're the [C9]ones that mean the [G]most

When the [C9]way home seems so far [G]away

Take 'em[Em] out and hold th[D]em close

And take a [C9]picture with your [G]father

'Cause [C9]one day he'll be [G]gone

And don't [C9]forget to fill an [G]old shoebox

Full of [D]things to [C9]look back [G]on.

I [C9]stumbled on a bunch of [G]junk of mine

In a [C9]shoebox the other [G]night
