*Fairly easy song to sing pretty rhythmic - can be sung however you want and strum how 
you feel :)
[opening] CAPO 3 to sing low... CAPO 5/6/7 to sing higher (works for me)
GWe opened the Dbook to write a Emstory
GWe walked a quaint Droad singing our Emrhymes
 G[sing louder here]    D[down again] Em[quite by this point]
Down in the streets and up on the hills, we walked...
      G[pause]               D                           Em  C  
And we talked, and we talked, from ancient history to technology.
    G [sing louder here] D     [down again] Em
and we lived, and we laughed, oh but i lied
GIt was a fad a farceD, my dishEmonesty
GBut the preteDnce you loved so I let mEmy self go
 G[sing louder here]    D[down again] Em[quite by this point]
Down in the streets and up on the hills, we walked...
      G[pause]               D                           Em  C
