INTRO: (organ arranged for guitar)
D5 C5 Bb5 F5
VERSE:
D5 C5 Bb5 F5
Went out walkin' through the wood the other day
D5 C5 Bb5
And the world was a carpet laid before me
D5 C5
The buds were bursting
Bb5 F5
And the air smelled sweet and strange
D5 C5 F5
And it seemed about a hundred years ago
VERSE:
D5 C5 Bb5 F5
Mary and I, we would sit upon a gate,
D5 C5 Bb5
Just gazin' at some dragon in the sky.
D5 C5 Bb5 F5
What tender days, we had no secrets hid away,
D5 C5 F5
Well, it seemed about a hundred years ago.
CHORUS:
G5 Bb5
Now all my friends are wearing worried smiles,
D5 C5 Bb5
Living out a dream of what they was.
G5 Bb5 F5
Don't you think it's sometimes wise not to grow up?
VERSE:
Went out walkin' through the wood the other day,
Can't you see the furrows in my forehead?
What tender days, we had no secrets hid away,
Now it seems about a hundred years ago.
CHORUS:
Now if you see me drinkin' bad red wine,
Don't worry 'bout this man that you love.
Don't you think it's sometimes wise not to grow up?
VERSE:
D5 C5 Bb5 F5 D5 C5 Bb5
You're gonna kiss and say good-bye, yeah, I warn you.
D5 C5 Bb5 F5 D5 C5 Bb5
You're gonna kiss and say good-bye, yeah, I warn you.
D5 C5 Bb5 F5 D5 C5 F5
You're gonna kiss and say good-bye, oh Lord, I warn you,
G5 Bb5
And please excuse me while I hide away.
F5
Call me lazy bones,
Bb5
Ain't got no time to waste away,
F5 Bb5
Lazy bones ain't got no time to waste away.
G5
Don't you think, don't you think,
Bb5 F5
It's just about time to hide away?
Bb5 F5
Yeah, yeah!
Wah, Wah and fade out.
