_ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ I'm a very tired [C] old and worn out [Dm] man _
[Bb] And my eyes have [C] long been blind
Most [Bb] _
things that people [F] say to me
Just seem to [C] slim my mind
[Bb] _ [C] _ _ _ [Dm]
Oh, but the suffering [C] and painful time
[Dm] Been _
_ [Bb] wearing you's [C] long _ out
[Bb]
Are still as clear on [F] my memory
As the numbers on [C] my [Gm] arms
_ [C] _ _ [Dm]
What will become of [C] all the memories?
_ _ [Dm]
Are [Bb] they to scatter [C] with the dust in the [Bb] breeze?
And who will stand before the [F] world
[Bb] Knowing what to [F] say
[Bb] When the very last survivor fades _ _
[Fm] _ away?
_ [C] _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ Hold my grandson [E] close to [C] me
[Dm] Fingers [Bb] trace the pattern [C] of my tears
He [F] _ [Bb] asks me, Grandpa, [F] tell me why do you cry?
What is it [C] that you [Bb] fear?
_ [C] _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ [C] Was it nothing? _ _
[Dm] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] What [Bb] will become of [C] all the memories? _
[Dm] Are [Bb] they to scatter [C] with the dust in the breeze?
[Bb] And who will stand before [F] the world
[Bb] That now wishes [F] to deny
[Bb] Or will they believe in someone _ _ _
[Fm] Who never heard the cries?
[C] _ _ _
[Dm] There is nothing [Bb] I can say or do
[C] To make things change
Time [Dm] has a [Bb] way of passing by [Fm] so fast
[C] _ _
[Bb] Like a fleeting shadow
[F] No one will recall
The [C] faces on our paths _ _ _ _
[Dm] What [Bb] will become [C] of all the memories? _
[Dm] [Bb] Are they to scatter [C] with the dust in the breeze?
[Bb] Yet one thought [F] gives me comfort
[Bb] It's all that [F] I have left
[Bb] I know that God in heaven _ _ _ _
Won't [F] forget _ _ _ _ _
