Epilogue
words and music by Arlo Guthrie
 AmAnd for mFmajyself I have Esusno rEegrets
 AmThat time has Fmajtaken what it Esussoon forE7gets
 FA gambler's Gparadise in Cshort C/BvignAmettesF  E7  Am  E7  Am  
These stolen moments from the hourglass
A burning candle while the night-time lasts
Upon my pillow where my dreams float past
And all my memories seem to come alive
I think of everyone who still survives
And those who haven't may yet still arrive
I want to take the time to let you know
I've had a hard time letting feelings show
And through it all I love you even so
A poet's pleasure is to hear in time
The painter pictures what he's left behind
I close my eyes and it all leaves my mind
I sit alone and hear the sparrow sing
No way of knowing what tommorow brings
I leave my solitude upon his wings

Epilogue

words and music by Arlo Guthrie

Am Fmaj Esus E

And for myself I have no regrets

Am Fmaj Esus E7

That time has taken what it soon forgets

F G C C/B Am F E7 Am E7 Am

A gambler's paradise in short vignettes

These stolen moments from the hourglass

A burning candle while the night-time lasts

Upon my pillow where my dreams float past

And all my memories seem to come alive

I think of everyone who still survives

And those who haven't may yet still arrive

I want to take the time to let you know

I've had a hard time letting feelings show

And through it all I love you even so

A poet's pleasure is to hear in time

The painter pictures what he's left behind

I close my eyes and it all leaves my mind

I sit alone and hear the sparrow sing

No way of knowing what tommorow brings

I leave my solitude upon his wings
