| A | dirty wind blows | through the sky |
| C | F | |
| And the | Autumn leaves cut loose and | fly |
| C | |
| Leave me | watching |
| F | C | E7 | |
| And | wishing I could follow |
| Am | Em | |
| Though a | mong the regrets that I | can't get by |
| Am | C7 | |
| There | are just one or | two |
| F | G | C | E7 | |
| Unkind | things I said to | you |
| Am | C/G | F | |
| Daddy what | was I supposed to | do? |
| Am | E/G# | C/G | D/F# | |
| I don't know | why it was so har | d to talk to | you |
| F | G | |
| I guess my anger pulled me | through |
| C | F | |
| No | sooner had I | hit the streets |
| C | F | |
| When I | met the fools that a | young fool meets |
| C | F | C | E7 | |
| All in search of | truth and bound for | glory |
| Am | Em | |
| And | listening to our | own heart beats |
| Am | C7 | |
| We | stood around the | drum |
| F | |
| Though it's | fainter now |
| G | C | E7 | |
| The | older I be | come |
| Am | C/G | F | |
| Living your | life day after | day |
| Am | E/G# | |
| Soon all your | plans and changes |
| C/G | D/F# | |
| Either | fail or fade a | way |
| F | G | |
| Leaving so much still left to | say |
| F | C/E | F | |
| But | Daddy I want to l | et you know someh | ow |
| G# | Am | C7 | |
| The | things you said are | so much clearer n | ow |
| F | F#dim | |
| And | I would turn the | pages back |
| C/G | E/G# | Am | |
| But | time will | not all | ow |
| D | |
| The | way these days just rip along |
| G | |
| Too | fast to last, too vast, too strong |
| F | C | Bb | G | Am | |
| Some | where some | thing went w | rong |
| F | C | |
| Or | maybe we forgot the | song |
| Bb | Am | G | |
| Make | room for my | forty- | fives |
| F | C | E7 | Am | |
| Al | ong be | side your s | eventy- | eights |
