_ _ _ _ _ _
_ on your head, _
[A] white [D] as the snow, [G] _
old man [Bm] stand [B] feeding [Em] the pigeons. _ _ _
Your body is rust, _
[A] skin [D] is like dust, _
[G] seen [Bm] in the last [B] light [Em] of the evening.
_ _ _ [E] _
[D] [Em] Lines [D] on [G] your face, _
[B] each [C] one a trace [G]
of happiness, [Bm] _ [D] distance [B] and sorrow. _ _ _ _
[Em] _ Lonely you stand, _ [A]
weak are [D] your hands, _ [G]
old man [Bm] with too [B] few [Em]
tomorrows. _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _
Your memory's gone, _ _
[A] friends [D] passed along, [G] _
old man sit [Bm] lost [B] in [Em] your reveries. _ _ _ _
Life has been kind [A]
to give you [D] this time [G] to dream [Bm] unrestrained.
[B] [Em] While the wind sings, _ _ _ [D] _
[G] [Dm] people [G] pass on by [B] and they go on [C] their way,
[G] [G] not wishing [D] to engage _ [Bm]
conversation.
_ [B] _ _ [Em] And you, you know why, _ [A] one look [D] in your eyes _ [G]
reminds them [Bm] their time [B] it [Em] is wasting. _ _ _ _ _
