Fm C7 Fm
When I was a boy the moon was a pearl the sun a yellow gold
Fm C7 Fm
But when I was a man the wind blew cold the hills were upside down
F7 Bbm Eb Eb7 Ab C7
But now that I have gone from here there's no place I'd rather be
Fm C7 Fm F#7
than to float my chances on the tide Back in the good old world
Bm F#7 Bm
On October's last I'll fly back home rolling down winding way
Bm F#7 Bm
Scare crows are all dressed in rags out at the edge of the field I lay
B7 Em A A7 D F#7
and all I've got's a pocket full of flowers on my grave
Bm
Oh but summer is gone I remember it best
F#7 Bm
Back in the good old world
