Tom: G

INTRO: Em  D  C/G  G 
       Em  D  C/G ~ D    Em

      D          C/G           G   Em
Let's not drive away just yet
D         C/G ~    D      Em
Give me a mo--ment more
   D                  C/G         G   D
To walk through those rooms again
                             Em
To walk through that door


      D            C/G    G   Em
If we turn off the radio
     D       C/G   ~  D      Em
I've only to close my eyes
        D           C/G         G   D
And the wind in the sycamores
                    G
Will carry me home


CHORUS:
              C/G       G
The vine of my memory
             C/G                G
Is blooming around those eaves
                     C/G              Em  D  C/G
But it's true it's a chore to tame wisteria-ia
   Em  D  C/G    Em
Wisteria-ia


    D          C/G             G   Em
I'm tempted to ring the bell
D            C/G ~  D    Em
Maybe they'd ask me in
   D           C/G           G  D
Or maybe it's just as well
                   Em
To let it all be


  D          C/G              G   Em
Remember the price we paid?
   D             C/G ~    D      Em
It seemed like a lot back then
  D          C/G            G   D
Remember the love we made
                       G
The day we moved in?


CHORUS:
              C/G       G
The vine of my memory
             C/G                 G
Is blooming around those eaves
                     C/G              Em  D  C/G
But it's true it's a chore to tame wisteria-ia
   Em  D  C/G    Em
Wisteria-ia


INSTRUMENTAL: Em  D  C/G  G
              Em  D  C/G ~ D
              Em  D  C/G  G
              Em  D           Em


   D             C/G            G   Em
It did need some pruning back
      D         C/G ~  D       Em
And I know it's not my place
        D               C/G           G   D
But how could they just cut it down
                          Em
And leave not a trace?


      D          C/G           G   Em
Let's not drive away just yet
D         C/G ~    D      Em
Give me a mo--ment more
   D                  C/G           G   D
To walk through these dreams again
                            G
To walk through that door


CHORUS:
              C/G       G
The vine of my memory
                  C/G                 G
Still blooms all around those eaves
                 C/G              Em  D  C/G
It's true it's a chore to tame wisteria-ia
   Em  D  C/G    
Wisteria-ia
   Em  D  C/G    G
Wisteria-ia
