Verse 1:

A augmentedA                D MajorD          A augmentedA
Met an old man in the park and I talked with him ‘til dark.
F# minorF#m       E MajorE        A augmentedA
Listening to the stories he could tell.
A augmentedA                    D MajorD         A augmentedA
Even though he lost his sight, he could make you laugh or cry.
  F# minorF#m       E MajorE         A augmentedA
He often had these words he asked of me.

Chorus:
    D MajorD          A augmentedA
Are the leaves still painted green?
    F# minorF#m         E MajorE
Do the birds still look the same?
    A augmentedA         D MajorD
Do the old dogs sleep all day?
     A augmentedA         E MajorE       A augmentedA
Then the old man smiled at me and walked away.

A augmentedA                  D MajorD        A augmentedA
I went back to walk around, but the old man can’t be found.
     F# minorF#m   E MajorE       A augmentedA
Ever seen carving on his wooden cane.
A augmentedA                   D MajorD        A augmentedA
Though we’ll never be back again, I’ll remember my old friend,
    F# minorF#m       E MajorE        A augmentedA
And the very last words that he said to me.
