VERSE:
 C majorC    G+G     FF    C majorC
Old man time is a rare old man
    A minorAm       C majorC   G+G
For a young man he'll ever remain
     FF     C majorC       A minorAm     G+G
With his long grey beard and his clothes are plain
  FF    G+G      C majorC
Oh Old Man Time is his name.

  A minorAm     G+G
As one flower dies
   FF     A minorAm
The old man he cries
   C majorC               G+G
The young man he plants the seeds again
    A minorAm   FF    C majorC     G+G
With a careful hand, he tends the sand,
   FF    G+G      C majorC   (play INTRO 2x's)
Oh, Old Man Time is his name.


VERSE:
 C majorC    G+G      FF  C majorC
This old man has an hourglass
   A minorAm  C majorC      G+G
For every soul on the land.
   FF    C majorC    A minorAm    G+G
Oh, Old Man Time, I have seen mine,
     FF      G+G    C majorC
It's the one with the fastest sand.

   A minorAm      G+G
No sooner is it turned,
    FF           A minorAm
Back through the glass it's churned,
   C majorC                G+G
I'm wishing i could have each hour again,
     A minorAm   FF    C majorC     G+G
With a careful hand, he tends the sand,
   FF    G+G      C majorC
Oh, Old Man Time is his name.

VERSE:
  C majorC    G+G     FF    C majorC
To me, Old Man, your time is rare,
   A minorAm   C majorC        G+G
Did God not give you all my sand?
  FF   C majorC   A minorAm    G+G
Or maybe mine I had to share
       FF    G+G    C majorC
Or is there some left in your hand?

   A minorAm       G+G     FF        A minorAm
They tell me time is gold, well maybe it's been sold,
  C majorC               G+G
Or was it simply washed away in rain?
     A minorAm   FF    C majorC     G+G
With a careful hand, he tends the sand,
   FF    G+G      C majorC
Oh, Old Man Time is his name.

    A minorAm      G+G
If I brought him a sack,
    FF          A minorAm
Do you think he'd put some back?
  C majorC                 G+G
I know one day across my path he'll come,
  A minorAm   FF    C majorC     G+G
But as for now, I can't say how,
  FF         G+G        C majorC  A minorAm
I know that old man's work is far from done.
   FF    G+G       C majorC  PLAY INTRO 3x's
