Capo 2
[Intro]
G | G | Bm A | Bm | G | G | A | A
[Verse]
Bm F#m G D
Those stormy years leave deep and endless trails across his face
A D
He'll wander back when morning rolls a- round
Bm F#m G D
For it's an old man's right to spend his life just searchin' for a place
A D
Where he can sit and watch the sun go down
Bm F#m G D
Times run it's course and freed the horse that pulled him through the prime
A D
And placed a different light above their brow
Bm F#m G D
Now towering rows of buildings grow in fields they left be- hind
A D
And life seems twice as heavy as a plow
[Chorus]
Bm D
So crowd around the corner, boys, and take your good old time
G
And pass along a piece of yester- day
Bm F#m G D
A tender breeze of memories is blowin?f through your mind
A D
Softer than those strands of silve- grey
[Instrumental]
| Bm | Bm | G | D | D | A | D | D
[Verse]
Bm F#m G D
With golden chains the old men cling to the watch inside the vest
A D
That tells them when it's time to move a- long
Bm F#m G D
Just rambling through the avenues, they'll sometimes stop to rest
A D
But it's hard to find the place where they be- long
[Chorus]
Bm D
So crowd around the corner, boys, and take your good old time
G
And pass along a piece of yester- day
Bm F#m G D
A tender breeze of memories is blowin?f through your mind
A D
Softer than those strands of silve- grey
[Tag]
D A Bm
And sweeter than the things you've seen to- day
