Verse 1
G D
Lend me your walking stick
C
And I lean on it
Am D
And I walk on out through the snow bound yard
G D
Past the neighbours on the lawn
C
Drinking last year out
Am D
I leave this town, cut the year off clear
Pre-Chorus 1
G D
Cauterized by leaving
C
Sick and tired of living last year
G D
Roll out the tarmac and baptize the air craft
C Am
Escaping loss and push me off
Verse 2
G D
The cold can bleach us out
C
And freeze our doubt
Am D
And all that you knew becomes muffled and mute
G
But I'm done with it
D
All this standing stiff
C Am D
When I move my mouth only snow comes out
Pre-Chorus 2
G D
Euthanized by whiteness
C
But I'll arise despite this last year
G D
So roll out the tarmac and baptize the aircraft
C Am
Escaping loss and push me off
Chorus
G D
Should old acquaintance be forgot
G C
And never brought to mind
G D
Should acquaintance be forgot
C G
And auld lang syne
G D
For auld lang syne, my dear
G C
For auld lang syne
G D
We'll take a cup of kindness yet
C Am G
For auld lang syne
