You And I When We We're Young Acoustic chords by Strawbs

Intro:
C  Dm  Em  F  C  Dm  Em  F

Verse:
  C                       Dm
I sometimes sit and think about
    Em              F
Our evenings in the firelight
        C Dm             Em     F
You and I,  when we were young
C               Dm              Em
Laughing at the crazy-patterned shadows
          F              G     F  G  F
That were dancing on the wall

Chorus:
          Em   Dm            C      F
Without a care, with time to spend
       Em      Dm            C    F
Hardly speaking for hours on end
                                 G   F    G
That was you and I, when we were young___

Instrumental:
C  Dm  Em  F  C  Dm  Em  F

Verse:
C               Dm
Walking hand in hand
           Em           F
Beside the river at the weekends
        C Dm             Em     F
You and I,  when we were young
C                   Dm                Em
Children with their fishing nets were laughing
        F                  G     F  G    F
As they took their catches home

Chorus:
     Em     Dm        C     F
Caterpillars in paper bags
           Em Dm          C    F
Knees tied up  with dirty rags
                                 G   F    G
That was you and I, when we were young___

Instrumental:
Am  Fmaj7  Cmaj7  Fmaj7  G  E  Am  Am/G  F   G  E

Verse:
A                    Bm
Brushing through the fallen leaves
  Dbm           D
Together in the autumn
        A Bm             Dbm    D
You and I,  when we were young
A                Bm
Planning for the future
        Dbm             D              E   D  E    D
Without knowing what it held for us at all

Chorus:
            Dbm    Bm      A       D
The road to nowhere  never climbs
             Dbm    Bm        A     D
We changed direction  a dozen times
                                 E     Dm  E
That was you and I, when we were young
