Intro (Carole King Piano)
A11 A11 A11 A11 A11 Dsus4 D D A11 A11 A11 A11 A11 E13 E11 E11 E11
A E
Whispering wind came, uninvited
F#m7 C#m7
Looking for somewhere else to go
D A/C#
Here is a lamp I've left unlighted

Bm7 E11 E
Aren't you someone I should know
A11 D
Memory's flame is soon ignited
A11 D A/C#
Lighting my lamp with amber glow
Bm7 A
Quietly, friends are reunited
Bm7 E11 A
Singing a song of long ago,
F#m7 C#m7 Bm7 E11 A E/G# F#m7 A/E Bm7 E11 A
la, la, la la la la la la la etc

Bridge
A11 A
Cry, cry for someone
A11 A
Who just can't be happy
F#m7 A/E D A/C# Bm7 E11 E
And be glad you can feel enough to cry
Verse 2
A E
Younger than always, time descended
F#m7 C#m7
Bringing me brand new seeds to sow
D A/C#
Now that they've been a long time planted
Bm7 E11 E
What must I do to help them grow
A11 D
If it had been as I intended
A 11 D A/C#
I wouldn't have the peace I know
Bm7 A
Loving the people I've befriended
Bm7 E11 A
And singing a song of long ago,
F#m7 C#m7 Bm7 E11 A E/G# F#m7 A/E Bm7 E11 A
la, la, la la la la la la la etc
D A/C#
As it began, so I will end it
Bm7 E11 E
Singing a song of long ago
D A/C#
Loving the people I've befriended
Bm7 E11 E7 A
And singing a song of long, long, long ago
