VERSE:
C G F C
Old man time is a rare old man
Am C G
For a young man he'll ever remain
F C Am G
With his long grey beard and his clothes are plain
F G C
Oh Old Man Time is his name.
Am G
As one flower dies
F Am
The old man he cries
C G
The young man he plants the seeds again
Am F C G
With a careful hand, he tends the sand,
F G C (play INTRO 2x's)
Oh, Old Man Time is his name.
VERSE:
C G F C
This old man has an hourglass
Am C G
For every soul on the land.
F C Am G
Oh, Old Man Time, I have seen mine,
F G C
It's the one with the fastest sand.
Am G
No sooner is it turned,
F Am
Back through the glass it's churned,
C G
I'm wishing i could have each hour again,
Am F C G
With a careful hand, he tends the sand,
F G C
Oh, Old Man Time is his name.
INSTRUMENTAL: I PLAY THE CHORDS FROM THE 2nd HALF OF THE VERSE
Am G F Am C G
F Am C G F G C Am
then play INTRO 2x's time....
VERSE:
C G F C
To me, Old Man, your time is rare,
Am C G
Did God not give you all my sand?
F C Am G
Or maybe mine I had to share
F G C
Or is there some left in your hand?
Am G F Am
They tell me time is gold, well maybe it's been sold,
C G
Or was it simply washed away in rain?
Am F C G
With a careful hand, he tends the sand,
F G C
Oh, Old Man Time is his name.
Am G
If I brought him a sack,
F Am
Do you think he'd put some back?
C G
I know one day across my path he'll come,
Am F C G
But as for now, I can't say how,
F G C Am
I know that old man's work is far from done.
F G C PLAY INTRO 3x's
For Old Man Time has just begun
