[Intro]
A A/E A A/E A A/E A A/E
[Verse 1]
D E A*5fr C#m/G# F#m E A A/E
And that old time feeling goes sneaking down the hall,
D/F# E A D F#m/C# E/B E
Like an old gray cat in winter keeping close to the wall.
D E A*5fr C#m/G# F#m E A A/E
And that old time feeling comes stumbling up the street,
D/F# E A Bm7 E A A/E A A/E
Like an old salesman kicking the papers from his feet.
[Verse 2]
D E A*5fr C#m/G# F#m E A A/E
And that old time feeling draws circles around the block,
D/F# E A D F#m/C# E/B E
Like old women with no children holding hands with the clock.
D E A*5fr C#m/G# F#m E A A/E
And that old time feeling falls on its face in the park,
D/F# E A Bm7 E A A/E A A/E
Like an old wino praying he can make it until it's dark.
[Verse 3]
D E A*5fr C#m/G# F#m E A A/E
And that old time feeling comes and goes in the rain,
D/F# E A D F#m/C# E/B E
Like an old man with his checkers dying to find a game.
D E A*5fr C#m/G# F#m E A A/E
And that old time feeling plays for beer in bars,
D/F# E A Bm7 E A A/E A A/E
Like an old blues time picker who don't recall who you are.
[Verse 4]
D E A*5fr C#m/G# F#m E A A/E
And that old time feeling limps through the night on a crutch,
D/F# E A D F#m/C# E/B E
Like an old soldier wondering if he's paid too much.
D E A*5fr C#m/G# F#m E A A/E
And that old time feeling rocks and spits and cries,
D/F# E A Bm7 E A A/E A A/E
Like an old lover remembering the girl with the clear blue eyes.
[Instrumental Solo]

D/F# E A A/E D F#m/C# E/B E
[Verse 5]
D E A*5fr C#m/G# F#m E A A/E
And that old time feeling goes sneaking down the hall,
D/F# E A Bm7 E A
Like an old gray cat in winter keeping close to the wall.
