Am
  I remember things not many things

  Don't remember presidents or what they did
Am
  I remember the wars and just who profited
Dm                C                Em
  I remember the wars and just who profited
Am
  I remember things not many things
Am
  Don't remember places in time
Am
  Don't remember when the ships hit the sea
Dm                C                Em
  I remember the love and just who gave me it
