Old and Wise

As far as my (Em)eyes can (Fmaj7)see,

(Dm)there are (Am)shadows (Em)surrounding (Fmaj7)me.

(Dm)And to those I left behind,

I (Gm)wanted you to know

you've (Fm)always shared my deepest thoughts;

you (Dsus)follow where I go.

(G)And oh,

(Ab)when I'm old and wise;

(Fm)bitter words mean (Cm)little to me;

(D7sus)autumn (D13)winds will blow right through me.

And (Cm)someday (Ab)in the midst of time,

(Fm)when they ask me (Cm)if I knew you,

I'd smile and say you were a friend of (Ab)mine,

and the sadness would be (Gm7)lifted from my (Cm)eyes,

(Ab)oh, (Bb)when I'm old and wise.

As (Am)far as my (Em)eyes can (Fmaj7)see,

(Dm)there are (Am)shadows (Em)surrounding (Fmaj7)me.

(Dm)And to those I leave behind,

I (Gm)want you all to know

you've (Fm)always shared my darkest hours;

I'll (Dsus)miss you when I go.

(G)And oh,

(Ab)when I'm old and wise;

(Fm)heavy words that (Cm)tossed and grilled me,

(D7sus)autumn (D13)winds, will blow right through me.

And (Cm)someday (Ab)in the mist of time,

(Fm)when they ask you (Cm)if you knew me,

remember that you were a friend of (Ab)mine,

as the final curtain (Gm7)falls before my (Cm)eyes,

(Ab)oh, (Bb)when I'm old and wise.

As

(C)As (Am)far as my (Em)eyes can (Fmaj7)see.
