RemEember when the days were long

And Aadd9rolled beneath a deep blue sky

EDidn’t have a care in the world

With Aadd9mommy and daddy Bstanding by

But Ehappily ever after fails

And we’ve been Aadd9poisoned by these fairy tales

The Elawyers dwell on small details

Since C#mdaddy Ahad to Bfly

Ah, but C#m7I know a G#m7place where F#m7we can go A6

C#m7Still untAouched by Bman

C#m7We’ll sit and G#m7watch the F#m7clouds roll byA6

And the C#m7tall grass Awaves in the Bwind

Oh Ebeautiful for spacious skies

But Aadd9now those skies are threatening

EThey’re beating plowshares into swords

For this Aadd9tired old man that we eBlected king

EArmchair warriors often fail

And we’ve been Aadd9poisoned by these fairy tales

The Elawyers clean up all details

Since C#mdaddy Ahad to Blie

Ah, but C#m7I know a G#m7place where F#m7we can go A6

C#m7And wash awayAthis sin

C#m7We’ll sit and G#m7watch the F#m7clouds roll by A6

And C#m7tall grass Awaves in the Bwind

EWho knows how long this will last

Aadd9Or how we’ve come so far so fast

EBut somewhere back there in the dust

ThatAadd9same small town in Beach of us

EI need to remember this

Aadd9So baby give me just one kiss

EAnd let me take a long last look

BeC#m7fore we Asay goodBbye
