I looked all over and could not find correct chords for this song. Mostly just on the little
bridge part ("time won't hurry back...") but now it's all good. See below. I have been tabbing
and chording out songs for a long time so hopefully you find this to be more accurate than the
other versions.

C
As your soul drifts from the plate
F                           C
To the floor where she is standing
C
Rising by the fire
                        G
From the torch you were burning
C
Many years but many tears
F                           C
And many more will soon be arriving
But I drink this final drop
F           G         C
To enter your front door
CHORUS
G
Gone are the days 
        F              C
When I poured from the rain
G
Where once, once marched a man 
        F              G       G
Going down life's drain
C                         F
Oh in time in time you will see 
C                   F
Just what you mean to me
C                     F    G       C
For I have let an angel clip my wings

C
Come back young volunteer
F                     C
For your war now it is over
Lay down your blackened gun
              G
Not another bad word spoken
C
Come tell of all you've seen
         F                    C
To the soul you're no longer killing
And rest your weary voice
         F      G         C
The last battle song has cried
CHORUS

Gone are the days

Oh in time in time you will see

Just what you mean to me
C                     F    G       C
For I have let an angel clip my wings

Oh an angel clipped my wings

From the back of this broken dream
F                                       G
So no ground need ever break my fall again
C        F         C     Am
For I return to sing this tune

Time won’t hurry back

Time won’t stall

Time to forget the past
Dm                  G
Brush the cobwebs from the wall
C           F          C        Am
Oh for I survived to sing this tune

For an angel clipped my wings
