SWINGING ON HIS ARM (Mary Karlzen)

[Pardon the weird formatting; Mary has a tendency to break her lines
 up in unusual ways, making it hard to type out chords...]

                                  
Drive the car down the dirt road, and back behind the barn
                                   
        Back where we used to hide, and run out on the fields
                                            
  With those dogs fast on our heels;  I didn't know
              
   That those dogs would never bite
                                                                 
(bite) Catching bugs back by the light, in the trees I see you hiding
                
I see you hiding

                                     
  Well I'd give everything I own for a taste of yesterday
                                              
  To hear my father calling out "Mary," well I know just what he'd say
                                                
  Back to the farm, we'd be out to the fields (??), and I'd be
                                 
  Swinging on, swinging on his arm

And walk out to the prairie there, thinking we'd find God somewhere
But he was nowhere to be found
And climb up on a haystack, and have us a look around
Don't you know, not one tree broke the ground
And of all the things I miss, I can tell you, I can tell you
I can tell you this

Well I'd give everything I own for a taste of yesterday
To hear my father calling out "Mary," well I know just what he'd say
Back to the farm, we'd be out to the fields (??), and I'd be
Swinging on, swinging on his arm, and I'd be
Swinging on, swinging on his arm, and I'd be

              
[instrumental]
              
[instrumental]

And of all the things I miss, I can tell you, I can tell you
I can tell you this

Well I'd give everything I own for a taste of yesterday
To hear my father calling out "Mary," well I know just what he'd say
Back to the farm, we'd be out to the fields (??), and I'd be
Swinging on, swinging on his arm, well I'd be
Swinging on, swinging on his arm, well I'd be
Swinging on, swinging on his arm, I'd be
[slowly:] Swinging on, swinging on his arm

Drive the car down the dirt road, and back behind the barn
