Bm D F#m A
Paris' rooftops were lovely to see.
E
Switzerland's vertical landscape
A E A
crossed my mind's eye just now.

Canada's shoreline has been calling out to me,
C D E
but it's been too long a time
C D E
since last I crossed that vast Nantucket sound.
E D G Bm G C D F
Hello old friend, welcome me home again.
Bm F G
Well, I've been away but that's all over now.
A D Bm F#m C#m G#m
Say I can stay for October, now, stay a while and
F#m D
play.
Bm F#m A
Little dog David, I must look like a fool.
E A E F#m E
I should've remembered you'd be forgetting my smell,
A
well.
C A Em
Give me a week or two to recapture my cool,
C D
I've got stories to tell
E F#m
about how I snatched the devil's catch
E C
and out ran the hounds of hell.
D D G Bm C D
Hello old friend, welcome me home again.
G Bm C F E
Well, I've been away but that's all over now

Say I can stay for October, now, stay a while and see.

Hello old friend, welcome me home again.

Well, I've been away but that's all over now.

Hello, old friend.
