_ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G#m] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
[C#] Lead me down the [F#] velvet trail To the shingle [E] and the sea
Jet fighters flying [G#m] overhead _ _ Feeling _ _ [B] melancholy
_ Jet _ [F#] fighters flying overhead _ Leaving _ trails [E] across the sky
_ Flying _ into the [G#m] setting sun Summer _ _ leaves [B] without goodbye
_ _ I wander down the [F#] old arcade _ Where teenage dreams are [E] won and lost _ _
Just a few old [G#m] dirty coins Mean so much when [B] you are young _ _
And the [F#] rain starts to fall _ _ _ Splashing off the [E] carousel
_ _ Now all the horses [G#m] look for law _ So many memories [B] to _ mourn
Things will never [F#] be the same _ _ _ Painted faces [E] fading fast
_ Unlike the spark of [G#m] youthful hope Those _ smiles were never [B] meant to last
I _ _ [F#] can't see the sea _ Too busy looking [E] out for me
Leaving trails across the sky So lead me down the [G#m] velvet trail
Where _ _ my summers [B] used to be The _ gorse is wild and [F#] overgrown
_ I walk the trail all [E] on my own _ Where the fox has [G#m] made his lair
_ My memories I'll [B] find in there _ And the magpies [F#] look for shells
_ _ One for sorrow, [E] two for joy _ _ _ Steal away my shining [G#m] face _ _
Steal the treasure [B] from the boy _ Once there was you and [F#] there was me
_ Both so young and [E] so carefree _ Back when the beach had [G#m] golden sand
And _ dreams we held within [B] our hands Or was this just our [F#] golden age?
_ And as the movie [E] fades to black _ The gold is never [G#m] ours to keep
_ We always have to [B] give it back _ _ _
Lead me down the [F#] velvet trail _ To things that were and [E] never was
And _ the sea at last [G#m] comes in _ And all my memories [B] are lost
_ Lead me down the [F#] velvet trail _ As the rain [E] begins to fall
_ _ All the pathways that [G#m] I walked I _ don't remember now [B] at all _ _
_ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ _
