Verse 1:
B7addE [as per intro] Where are you walking, I've seen you walking Have you been there before? [cello: A -: F#] Walk down your doorsteps, you'll take some more steps What did you take them for?
A G6 [A: x77650 G6: x55430] There's a private in my boat and he wears
Pins instead of medals on his coat
There's a chicken in my nest and she won't
Lay until I've given her my best
At her request she asks for nothing
You get nothing in return
If you want she brings you water
If you don't then you will burn
[repeat intro riff, 4X w/bass each time]
Verse 2:
You go through changes, it may seem strange Is this what you're put here for? You think you're happy and you are happy That's what you're happy for
There's a man who can't decide if he should Fight for what his father thinks is right There are people wearing frowns who'll screw you up But they would rather screw you down
At my request I ask for nothing You get nothing in return If you're nice she'll bring me water If you're not then I will burn
[repeat intro]

Verse 1:
This is the time and life that I am living
And I'll face each day with a smile
For the time that I've been given's such a little while
And the things that I must do consist of more than style
[1: There are places that I am going 4: There'll be time for you to start all over]
Verse 2:
This is the only thing that I am sure of And that's all that lives is gonna die And there'll always be some people here to wonder why And for every happy hello, there will be good-bye There'll be time for you to put yourself on
[repeat horn break]
Verse 3:
Everything I've seen needs rearranging And for anyone who thinks it's strange Then you should be the first to want to make this change And for everyone who thinks that life is just a game Do you like the part you're playing

I see your picture
It's in the same old frame
We meet again
Fmaj7 Cmaj7 [2X] / / / / / / / /
You look so lovely
You with the same old smile
Stay for a while
I need you so, oh, oh, oh, oh
And if you take it easy
I'm still teethin'
I wanna love you, but [N.C.] Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
