[Chorus]
C            C/B                 
We've come a long, long way since
     C/A        G             C
 the days of my grandfather's time
C           C/B      C/A  
And I can't say it's all been 
     D          G
forward
Am                    G          
I don't know what I'd say to any 
F    G      C     C/B
grandson of mine
   Am     G         F        Em 
If he was tryin' to make his own
         Am
 way star-ward


[Verse 1]
F              G
And I hate to see him go
C            G
But I'd be glad to know
F                Em       
Part of me would live to see 
    Am
tomorrow
F               G
We thought our days were
Am          G
Bought and paid for

F                 Em            
Came to find that time was only 
Am
borrowed


[Verse 2]
C             C/B              
A man and his horse used to be 
C/A       G       C
worth two bucks a day
C           C/B                 
Now that won't even pay for the 
C/A                 D       G
hay, and that's the horse's meal
Am            G
I played in a band
F G                C
I lived in an old Chevrolet van
Am
Back in the days of the automobile


[Verse 3]
F               G
We lived on the land
C                   G
And tried to make a stand
F               Em               
Just hoped that man would learn 
      Am
to get by
F                   G
And we poisoned the earth
C                            G
And took her for all she was worth
F                   Em           
But it was here I's born and here
      Am
 I'll die


[Verse 4]
F                  G
And you can't get away
C                         G
From that final Judgement Day
F             Em      Am
No matter how far we fly


[Chorus 2]
C            C/B                 
We've flown a long, long way 
     C/A        G             C
since the days of my grandfather's 
time
C           C/B      C/A  
And I can't say it's all been 
     D          G
forward
Am                    G          
I don't know what I'd say to any 
F    G      C     C/B
grandson of mine
Am     G         F        Em   
If he was tryin' to make his 
       Am
own way star-ward
