This is really hard to do with one guitar, but if you're feeling really adventuresome you can tune the low E string down to and play it on the last two notes of each bar. It sounds a lot more like Mike's bass line that way. These bags of shirts and soiled shoes all lined up in the hall Who discarded these? Who discarded these? So many rusted bikes outside you couldn't count them all Who abandoned these? Who abandoned these? Finger painted works of art upon the kitchen wall Who created these? Who created these? A mantel filled with victories for someone playing ball Whose awards are these? Whose awards are these? Bm A He wonders where his life has gone Bm A Gmaj What was yesterday? Bm A He used to have a family here Bm D And this is where they stayed D A Gmaj D Please forgive him he's been bowling in the hills D A Gmaj Just to get away D A Gmaj D Killing time with Hudson's men who had him out until D A D The time had slipped away D A Gmaj D And early in the morning when he comes down the hills D A Gmaj With a creak in his bones D A Gmaj D Killing time with Hudson's men who had him out until Gmaj A Bm He finds his child's grown Gmaj A D He finds his child's grown This half built fence, uncut grass, work left undone Whose chores are these? Whose chores are these? There's a stain on the cloth of a table set for one Whose plates are these? Whose plates are these? He wonders where his life has gone What's going on? He used to have a family here He wonders where they've gone CHORUS These visions of a hurried past and expedited fate Whose dreams are these? Whose dreams are these? I'll leave the slumber and nine pins to Rip Cause I prefer to wait, I prefer to wait And when my child's old enough I'll take him to the hills For ten frames and a drink, ten frames and a drink I'll make my child promise not to grow too fast And I'll promise not to blink, I'll promise not to blink D A Gmaj D Please forgive me I've been bowling in the hills D A Gmaj Just to get away D A Gmaj D On summer afternoons you'll hear a rumble in the hills Gmaj A Bm But here is where I'll stay Bm A Gmaj Here is where I'll stay Gmaj A D Here is where I'll stay
