When I was a boy, The moon was a pearl
F C7 F F
The sun a yellow gold
F C F C
But when I was a man, The wind blew cold
F C7 F F
The hills were upside down
F Bb G C C7
But now that I, Have gone from here, There's no place I'd rather be
F C F Bb F C7 F
Than to float, My chances, On the tide, Back in the good old world
F# Gm7 F# Gm7 F# Gm7 F# Gm7
October's last, I'll fly back home, Rolling down winding way
F# B G# C# C#
And all I've got's a pocket full, Of flowers on my grave
F# Gm7 F# B
And now summer is gone, I remember it best
F# Gm7 F# F#
Back in the good old world
D#maj A#m D#maj A#m
I remember when, She held my hand
D#maj A#m D#maj A#m
We walked home alone, In the rain
D#maj A#m D#maj A#m
How pretty her mouth, How soft her hair
D#maj A#m D#maj
Nothing can be the same
D#maj G# Fm A#m
And there's a rose, Upon her breast, Where I long to lay my head
D#maj A#m D#maj G#
And her hair, Was so yellow, And the wine was so red
Dmaj A#m D#maj D#maj
Back in the good old world
D#maj G# Fm A#m
And there's a rose, Upon her breast, Where I long to lay my head
D#maj A#m D#maj G#
And her hair, Was so yellow, And the wine was so red
Dmaj A#m D#maj D#maj
Back in the good old world
