[Intro]
D   G

[Verse 1]
   D
If I could buy a house
 on Memory Lane
    G
I'd put my money down
 and I'd sign my name
        D
On that little corner
lot where it don't ever rain
    G
And we'd stay good as new
 like a fresh coat of paint
         D
You'd be mine in the
                        G
shine of a front porch light
        D
Yeah, I might as well
 live there, baby
       G
That's where I spend
 most of my time

[Chorus]
                     A
Thinkin' 'bout those sunsets
                Bm
that bled into jean jacket nights
      G
Those tangled up mornings
      D
lost in paradise
      A
Still drunk on the feeling
      Bm
when I close my eyes
       G
You're pulling me closer,
your head on my shoulder
G
We'd never let go and
we'd never be over

[Verse 2]
D
If I could buy a house
 on Memory Lane
  G
I wouldn't have to wonder
 if you miss me the same
       D
I'd be loving you as usual,
telling you you're beautiful
G
Oh, I'd be happily delusional

You're pulling me closer,
 your head on my shoulder

We'd never let go and
we'd never be over

                            D
 we'd never fade, never fade
               G
We'd never fade
Never fade, never
      D   G   D

How to play Memory Lane: key, chords and progression

Memory Lane by Old Dominion is centred on D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯). The song uses 4 chords: D, G, A and Bm.

The progression the song keeps returning to is A – Bm – G – D (V – vi – IV – I in D major), a rotation of the “four-chord” pop progression (I–V–vi–IV). In solfa, that is soh – lah – fah – doh. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 7th fret and play the shapes G, C, D, Em (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 75% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
