(intro)Dm  C  Bb  F

        Dm       C                   Bb             F
       Went out walkin' through the wood the other day
                Dm          C            Bb
       And the world was a carpet laid before me
       Dm             C
       The buds were bursting
               Bb                       F
       And the air smelled sweet and strange
               Dm             C             F
       And it seemed about a hundred years ago

         Dm      C           Bb          F
       Mary and I, we would sit upon a gate,
             Dm              C           Bb
       Just gazin' at some dragon in the sky.
       Dm           C               Bb          F
       What tender days, we had no secrets hid away,
                  Dm             C            F
       Well, it seemed about a hundred years ago.

       G                               Bb
       Now all my friends are wearing worried smiles,
        Dm            C                Bb
       Living out a dream of what they was.
       G                     Bb                        F
       Don't you think it's sometimes wise not to grow up?

      Dm             C       Bb        F   Dm C     Bb
       You're gonna kiss and say good-bye, yeah, I warn you.
      Dm             C       Bb        F   Dm C     Bb
       You're gonna kiss and say good-bye, yeah, I warn you.
      Dm             C       Bb        F   Dm  C    F
       You're gonna kiss and say good-bye, oh Lord, I warn you,
             G                       Bb
       And please excuse me while I hide away.
                F
       Call me lazy bones,
                     Bb
       Ain't got no time to waste away,
        F                       Bb
       Lazy bones ain't got no time to waste away.
        G
       Don't you think, don't you think,
             Bb                       F
       It's just about time to hide away?
        Bb    F
       Yeah, yeah!

       Wah, Wah and fade out.
