"Preschool Days" By Dogwood
Tabbed By Eric Exley
Verse 1:
E D# C#
E D#-E-D#-E
All the things I've seen couldn't prepare me for what I was about to
experience
E[D#] D#-E-D#-[C#]E
As a little boy, growing up in a world, made for all the big kids and the
big toys...
C# [D#] E
Sometimes, I'd sit around and wait, play with my toy cars, until the
wheels would turn no more,
D# E D# E D#
then I'd think to myself... is my dads[C#] car coming home or will this be
another night, my mom,
E-D#-E D#-E C#
my brother and I, tucking ourselves in?
RIFF 1: play it during the chorus where it says (Riff 1)
D--4-2-1-2-1--D
A----------------A
Chorus:
[C#](Riff 1) G# [B] A
I learned my alphabet to spell dad, how quickly dad turned to sad, in my
preschool days, and the
B [C#] (Riff 1) G#
rest of my life. My mother did the best that she could, my brother
stayed as strong as he stood, a
father figure to me, my p[A]reschool days.
Verse 2:
E D#
I remember all the times mom cri[C#]ed, my brother stayed strong by her side,
and I would stand and
E D# E D#
E D#
wonder why there was three when there should be four. Maybe my dad got
lost driving home
E D#-E-D#-C#[C#]
and then again it wouldn't make sense, I feel alone.
(CHORUS)
RIFF 2: play this during the break
D--------9-7-6-------9-7-6------7-6------------------D
A---7-7---------9-9---------7-7------9-7-7-6-7-6-7---A
E----------------------------------------------------E
Break:
So where has he been? He's running out of time. I haven't heard from
him. I hope he's doing fine. Money cannot buy years of missing them.
Daddy gave it up, the kids forgave him.
