G#D#G#D#G#D#G#B Years ago, I knew a ma-a-a-an, he was my mother's biggest fa-a-an, F#BF#B We used to walk beside the sea and he told me how life would be F#BD# When I grew up to be a man.
G#D#G#D#G#D#G#B Years ago, we used to pla-a-ay, he used to laugh when I ran away, F#BF#B But when I fell and hurt my knee he would run to comfort me, F#BD# And the pain would go away.

Years ago, I knew a boy he was his daddy's pride and joy, But when the daddy went away it was such a rainy day That he brought out all his toys.
How the mother did explain, trying to take away the pain, But he just couldn't understand that his father was not a man And it all was just a game.
The years have passed and so have I, making it hard for me to cry, And if and when I have a son let it all be said and done, Let the sadness pass him by.
