A Year To Go By chords by Phil Ochs

Capo on the 1:st fret.

C    Em
 Here I am
C        Em
 10 years have I
C     Am      F       G
 Watch me run, watch me play, watch me cry
F       C
 Time has no time
F       C
 The world is mine
    C    Am     F     G
And it takes 10 years for a year to go by

Fm Em G

Here I am
Now 21
Learned all I need for a life that?s just begun
I know the rules
Old men are fools
And it takes 7 years for a year to be done

Here I am
Past 42
All that I know now if only then I knew
Tricked by time
Now I find
That it takes just a year
for a year to be through

Here I am
As old as old
All sayings have been said
All stories have been told
Taught by time
The greatest crime is to
Live less than a year
When a year has unrolled

F       Em     G    C
 Less than a year when a year has unrolled
