Lyrics

Hey where did we go?

Days when the rains came,

down in the (Ab)hol low

play in’ a new game,

laugh ing and a (Ab)run ning hey, hey,

skip ping and a (Bb7)jump ing.

In the mist y morn ing fog with our

(Bb7)hearts a thump in’, and (Ab)you,

my brown eyed (Eb)girl.

You, my

brown eyed girl.

Do you re mem ber when

we used to sing: sha la la la la la la la la la la te da?

Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da

la te da.
