ROLLING  STONES


INTRO: (organ arranged for guitar)
             F


VERSE:  F
       Went out walkin' through the wood the other day
                Bb
       And the world was a carpet laid before me
       C
       The buds were bursting
               F
       And the air smelled sweet and strange
               F
       And it seemed about a hundred years ago


VERSE:
        F
       Mary and I, we would sit upon a gate,
             Bb
       Just gazin' at some dragon in the sky.
       F
       What tender days, we had no secrets hid away,
                  F
       Well, it seemed about a hundred years ago.

CHORUS:
       Bb
       Now all my friends are wearing worried smiles,
        Bb
       Living out a dream of what they was.
       F
       Don't you think it's sometimes wise not to grow up?


VERSE:
       Went out walkin' through the wood the other day,
       Can't you see the furrows in my forehead?
       What tender days, we had no secrets hid away,
       Now it seems about a hundred years ago.

CHORUS:
       Now if you see me drinkin' bad red wine,
       Don't worry 'bout this man that you love.
       Don't you think it's sometimes wise not to grow up?

VERSE:
      Bb
       You're gonna kiss and say good-bye, yeah, I warn you.
      Bb
       You're gonna kiss and say good-bye, yeah, I warn you.
      F
       You're gonna kiss and say good-bye, oh Lord, I warn you,
             Bb
       And please excuse me while I hide away.
                F
       Call me lazy bones,
                     Bb
       Ain't got no time to waste away,
        Bb
       Lazy bones ain't got no time to waste away.
        G
       Don't you think, don't you think,
             F
       It's just about time to hide away?
        F
       Yeah, yeah!

       Wah, Wah and fade out.
