[Verse]
G/B Am C F
We all look busy, there's a certain type of sound around
C F G
Everyone is searching for the Dollar and the Pound
C G/B Am C
And some have been to hell and back and some have gone to ground
F G
And if someone will just help me from this chair
[Verse]
C G/B Am C
The poor will count their money, or hide it all inside
F C F G
And as I put the kettle on, I'll call my brother, Jack
C G/B Am C F
We will hit the high road and I will help him pack
C G C
He will live forever on the years he can't get back
[Verse]
G/B Am C
The flowers they look so pretty in their vase upon the table
F C F G
A gentle illustration in his book of Celtic fables
C G/B Am C
And I will feed him water ( ? ) as long as I am able
F G
If someone will just help me from this chair
[Verse]
C G/B Am C
And the young play so much louder as the rest of us grow older
F C F G
Some will walk with Blackthorn stick and some may need a shoulder
C G/B Am C
We will hit the high road and help each other out
F C G C
And we will live forever on the years we can't get back
[Bridge]
G F C
Or the dream that came last Saturday, sure it was no dream at all
F C F G
I will hear the west wind blow and watch the branches fall
C G/B Am C
I will paint his quiet mountain with a wide and gentle track
F C G C
So that we may live together on the years we can't get back
[Verse]
G/B Am C
The farmer ploughs a furrow, he may sow a seed in spring
F C F G
The girl who strokes a mandolin, may well have a song to sing
C G/B Am C
But the band that sings forever, wears a golden wedding ring
F G
And if someone will just help me from this chair
[Verse]
C G/B Am C
I will watch the flowers growing, I will see the tree in bloom
F C F G
I will read from books of poetry, consumed around the room
C G/B Am C
We will hit the high road to help each other out
F C G C
And we will live forever on the years we can't get back
F C G C
We will live forever on the years we can't get back
