[D] In the years we spent wearing [A] out leather, [G] found you unselfish and true.

[D] I send them along, [A] instead of letters [G] I promised I'd write [D] to you.
I remember, old man, [A] I remember, [F#m] the tracks that we [G] followed are clear,
[D] The jovial last nights [A] of December, [G] the solemn first days of the year,
[D] Long tribes through the [A] clearings and the timbers, [F#m] short partings on [G] platform and pier.
[D] I remember, old man, [A] I remember, [G] the tracks we [D] followed are clear,
I [Em] can still feel the spirit [Bm] that wore us, [G] and often your [D] stars will shine,
[Em] I remember the last [Bm] spring chorus, [G] for the sake of that other [A] lane time,
[Em] When our tracks lay invited [Bm] before us, [G] past through the future [D] of mine.
