C                       Am
Through these years and pines
F/C                   G
As we tumble down the hallways of our minds
C                    Am
Dressed in black and white
F/C                                           G
I don't roll these cotton sleeves up just for style


[Chorus]
C                        Am
Oh and I know soon to be forgotten
F/C                   G
Then let my worst out ahead
C                        Am
Oh and I know soon to be forgotten now
F/C                       G
Won't you lay my fears to rest


[Verse 2]
C              Am
Oh you ancient kind
F/C                                G
I bet your toes will hit the water before mine
C                 Am
Swinging from the vine
G                          G
As your yellow dress hangs dry up on the line


[Chorus]
C                        Am
Oh and I know soon to be forgotten
F/C                   G
Then let my worst out ahead
C                        Am
Oh and I know soon to be forgotten now
F/C                       G
Won't you lay my fears to rest


[Instrumental]


[Verse 3]
C               Am
Anciеnt kind be strong
G                     G
You are older in your heart than you are now
C             Am
Through these fields we run
F/C                 G
Singing songs I got times under the gun


[Chorus]
C                        Am
Oh and I know soon to be forgotten
F/C                   G
Then let my worst out ahead
C                        Am
Oh and I know soon to be forgotten now
F/C                       G
Won't you lay my fears to rest
