_ _ [E] I _ _ _ _
[F#m] _ saw [A] my youth today, _ he passed [E] me on the street.
[F#m] _ As he [D] walked by I stood [A] frozen on [E] my dreaming feet.
_ [F#m] He had a [D] kind of face, [A] _ the kind [E] I've learned to hide _
[F#m] Behind [D] these cold unyielding [A] stones that used [E] to be my eyes.
_ _ _ [A] A moment [D] please my boy, [A] _ don't you [D] know my name?
[A] Do you [E] remember when we used to play a [D] hundred games?
[E] Is your [D] mother well?
[Am] _ Kiss her [D] once for me.
_ [Am] She should ask [E] you why, but [F#m] you could say [E] just [D] for no [E] reason.

_ _ [F#m] _ _ [D] Remember that old troll [A] who lived [E] inside the tree?
[F#m] _ He was [D] never [E] dangerous, that's just the way it seemed. _
[F#m] And the [D] day you climbed the tree, [A] _ ran to [E] show me how.
_ [F#m] The troll [D] was never seen [A] again, so where [E] could he be now?
A [A] _ moment [D] please my boy, _ [E]
don't you [D] know this face?
[A] Do you remember [E] _
when I used to let you win the races?
Please don't [D] run away, I [E] did not mean [D] to scare you.
[A] I'm the one [B] who told you [F#m] that you should [E] never talk [D] to strangers.
[A] Is your mother well?
_ [E] Kiss her once for me. _ _
[A] She should [E] ask you why, but you [F#m] could say just for [B] no reason. _ _ _ _
