INTRO: Em   C   G   D  (2x)  Em

                 C    G
I saw my youth today
                    D       Em
He passed me on the street
                  C    
As he walked by I stood frozen
G              D      Em
On my dreaming feet


                C    G
He had a kinder face
                         D      Em
The kind I've learned to hide
                    C               G    
Behind these cold unyielding stones
                   D       G
That used to be my eyes


         D          C     
A moment please, my boy
G         D       C      
Don't you know my name?
   G            D    
Do you remember when
           Em     G       C        
We used to play a hundred games?


G       D      C
Is your mother well?
G        D        C
Kiss her once for me
       G                  D
And if she should ask you why
          Em         D      C
You could say, "Just for no reason"


INSTRUMENTAL: Em   C   G   D  (4x)  Em


                  C       G
Remember that old troll
                      D       Em
That lived inside the tree?
             C    
He was never dangerous
G                      D        Em
That's just the way it seemed


                        C       G
The day you climbed the tree
                   D      Em
And ran to show me how
                    C          G
The troll was never seen again
                     D      G
So where could he be now?


         D         C     
A moment please my boy
G         D         C      
Don't you know this face?
   G            D     
Do you remember when
          Em      D       C     
I used to let you win the races?


G            D    C      
Please don't run away
  G       D       C      
I did not mean to scare you
        G       D     
I'm the one who told you
                Em    D       C     
That you should never talk to strangers


G       D      C
Is your mother well?
G        D        C
Kiss her once for me
       G                  D
And if she should ask you why
          Em         C      D         Em
You could say, "Just for no reason"


                 C    G
I saw my youth today
                    D       Em
He passed me on the street
                  C    
As he walked by I stood frozen
G              D     
On my dreaming feet
