_ [F#] _ _ _ [G#] _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ All the neon lights are flashing
And the icy wind did blow _ _
_ [B] Water's [C#] seeping to [F#m] his shoes
And the drizzle [E] turned to snow
[A] His eyes were [E] red, his hopes were dead
And [C#m] the water [G#] was running low
Then [A] [B] the old man came home
_ From [E] the forest _
His tears fell on the sidewalk
[B] As he stumbled [E] in the street
_ A dozen faces stopped to [A] stare
But [E] no one stopped to speak
[B] For his castle [E] was a [C#m] hallway
And a part of his [G#] only friend
And [B] the old man stumbled in
From [E] the forest
Up _ _ _ _
[F#m] _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ [C#m] _

a dark and dingy staircase
The old man made his way
_ His [B] ragged [C#m] coat [F#m] around him
As upon [E] his cot he lay
_ [A] And he wondered [E] how it happened
[C#m] That he ended [G#] up this way
[F#m] Getting lost [B] like a fool
_ In [E] the forest
_ And _ as he lay there sleeping
A vision did appear
_ Upon [B] his [C#m] mantle shining
[F#m] The face of [E] one severe _
[A] Who'd locked him [E] in the springtime
[C#m] Of the long [G#] forgotten years
_ [A] When the [B] wildflowers did bloom _ _
In [E] the forest
She _ _
_ _ [F#m] _ _ [E] _ _ _ [G#m] _
_ [C#m] _ [E] _ [A] _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ [E] _ [B] _ _ [C#m] _ [G#] _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ touched his grizzled fingers
[A] And she called him [E] by his name
_ And [B] he [E] heard the joyful sound
Of children at their games
[A] In an old [B] house [E] on a [B] [C#] hillside
In some forgotten [G#] tent _
Where [A] the [B] river runs still _ _ _
[E] From the forest _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [B] _ [E] _ _ _ _ [B] _
[C#m] _ _ _ [A] _ _ [E] _ _ _
[A] _ _ [E] _ _ [B] _ [C#m] _ _ [G#] _
_ _ [A] _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ [C#] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ With a mighty roar the big jets
Soar [B] above the [E] canyon stream
And [D#m] the common [C#m] conflict [B] like goes [A] on
For [E] the city never sleeps
[B] And to the old [E] forgotten soldier
The [C#m] dawn will [G#] come no more
[A] For the old [B] man has to go
_ From _ _ [E] the forest
