[B] _ [F#] _ _ _ [G#] _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ All the neon lights were flashing
And the icy wind it blowed
_ [B] Water [C#] seeped into his [A] shoes
And the drizzle [E] turned to snow
_ [A] His eyes were [E] red, his hopes were [C#m] dead
And the water was [G#] running low
_ [A] Then the [B] old man came home
From [E] the forest
_ His tears fell on the sidewalk
[B] As he stumbled [E] in the street
_ A dozen faces stopped to [A] stare
But no one [E] stopped to speak
[A] For his [B] castle [E] was a [C#m] hallway
And a part of his [G#] only friend
And [A] the [B] old man stumbled in _ _
[E] From the forest _ _ _ _
_ [F#m] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _

[F#m] _ _ [B] _ [E] _ [B] _ [C#m] _ [G#] _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ Up _ _ _ a dark and dingy staircase
The old man made his way
_ His ragged coat [C#m] around [B] him
As [A] upon [E] his cot he lay
_ [A] And he wondered how [E] it happened
That [C#m] he ended up [G#] this way _
[A] Getting [B] lost like a fool
_ In [E] the forest
_ And as he lay there asleep
And a vision did appear _
Upon [B] his [C#m] mantle's shining [F#m] face
Of [E] one so dear
Who'd [A] loved him [E] in the springtime
[C#m] Of the long [G#] forgotten year
_ [A] When the [B] wildflowers did bloom
_ _ _ [E] In the forest _
She _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ [E] _
_ _ [G#m] _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ [A] _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [A] _ [B] _ [E] _
[B] _ _ [G#] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
[G#m] _ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ touched his grizzled fingers
And [A] she called him [E] by his name _
And then [B] he heard the joyful [F#] sound
Of [E] children at their games
[A] In an old [E] house on a [C#] hillside
In some [G#] forgotten tent
Where [A] the river [B] runs still
_ From [E] the forest _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ [C#m] _ _ [A] _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [E] _
_ [B] _ [C#m] _ [G#] _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ With a mighty roar the big jets [A] soar
Above [E] the canyon stream
_ And a common [D#m] heart [C#m] would like [B] a song
[A] For the [E] city members sleep
And to the old forgotten soldier
[C#m] The dawn will come [G#] the morn
For [A] the [B] old man has come home _ _ _ _
[E] From the forest
