       INTRO:   F   C
            F        C         F           C
       When I was a boy,  The moon was a pearl
            F      C7     F    F
       The sun a yellow gold
                F        C         F         C
       But when I was a man,  The wind blew cold
             F          C7     F    F
       The hills were upside down

             F                Bb                           G              C   C7
       But now that I,  Have gone from here,  There's no place I'd rather be
                 F          C    F         Bb     F           C7        F
       Than to float, My chances,  On the tide,  Back in the good old world

          F#     Gm7     F#           Gm7        F#           Gm7   F#   Gm7
       October's last,  I'll fly back home,    Rolling down winding way
            F#                B                 G#           C#   C#
       And all I've got's a pocket full,   Of flowers on my grave
                 F#       Gm7        F#        B
       And now summer is gone,  I remember it best
        F#          Gm7       F#    F#
       Back in the good old world

D#maj             A#m     D#maj         A#m
       I remember when,    She held my hand
          D#maj        A#m            D#maj    A#m
       We walked home alone,   In the rain
           D#maj       A#m    D#maj        A#m
       How pretty her mouth,  How soft her hair
        D#maj     A#m     D#maj
       Nothing can be the same

            D#maj           G#                        Fm            A#m
       And there's a rose, Upon her breast,  Where I long to lay my head
              D#maj           A#m             D#maj       G#
       And her hair,  Was so yellow,  And the wine was so red
       Dmaj        A#m      D#maj    D#maj
       Back in the good old world

            D#maj           G#                        Fm            A#m
       And there's a rose, Upon her breast,  Where I long to lay my head
               D#maj          A#m            D#maj         G#
       And her hair,  Was so yellow,  And the wine was so red
      Dmaj         A#m      D#maj    D#maj
       Back in the good old world
