Fifty Years Ago chords by Ian Tyson

Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

Verse 1:
A augmentedA
If I could roll back the years
     D MajorD
Back when I was young and limber
     A augmentedA
Loose as ashes in the wind
     B minorBm      E MajorE
I had no irons in the fire
    C# minorC#m
I could ride them wild young broncos
   D MajorD
The adrenaline came quickly
   A augmentedA
And Juanita down at Mona's
    E MajorE      A augmentedA
Was my only hearts desire

Verse 2:
A augmentedA
We were living for the moment
     D MajorD
And the sunlight on my silver bits
   A augmentedA
The ringing of my jinglebobs
     B minorBm     E MajorE
Was the music of my soul
    C# minorC#m
In the alley back of Mona's
    D MajorD
I held Juanita in the shadows
    A augmentedA
How we held on to each other
     E MajorE       A augmentedA
And the lovin' that we stole

Chorus:
A augmentedA    B minorBm       E MajorE
And the sighing of the pines
  A augmentedA
Up here near the timberline
     D MajorD
Makes me wish I'd done things different
               A augmentedA
Oh, but wishing don't make it so
    B minorBm         E MajorE
Oh the time has passed so quick
   A augmentedA
The years all run together now
    D MajorD
Did I hold Juanita yesterday
          E MajorE
Was it fifty years ago
