100 Years Ago

(intro)Dm  C  Bb  F

        Dm       C                
       Went out walkin' through 
   Bb             F
the wood the other day
                Dm          C     
       And the world was a carpet 
       Bb
laid before me
       Dm             C
       The buds were bursting
               Bb                  
       And the air smelled sweet 
     F
and strange
               Dm             C   
       And it seemed about a 
          F
hundred years ago

         Dm      C           Bb  
       Mary and I, we would sit 
        F
upon a gate,
             Dm              C    
       Just gazin' at some dragon 
       Bb
in the sky.
Continues after the ad
       Dm           C             
       What tender days, we had no
  Bb          F
 secrets hid away,
                  Dm          
       Well, it seemed about a 
   C            F
hundred years ago.

       G                     
       Now all my friends are 
          Bb
wearing worried smiles,
        Dm            C           
       Living out a dream of what 
     Bb
they was.
       G                   
       Don't you think it's 
  Bb                        F
sometimes wise not to grow up?

      Dm             C       Bb  
       You're gonna kiss and say 
      F   Dm C     Bb
good-bye, yeah, I warn you.
      Dm             C       Bb  
       You're gonna kiss and say 
      F   Dm C     Bb
good-bye, yeah, I warn you.
      Dm             C       Bb  
       You're gonna kiss and say 
      F   Dm  C    F
good-bye, oh Lord, I warn you,
             G                     
       And please excuse me while I
  Bb
 hide away.
                F
       Call me lazy bones,
                     Bb
       Ain't got no time to waste 
away,
        F                       Bb
       Lazy bones ain't got no time 
to waste away.
        G
       Don't you think, don't you 
think,
             Bb                    
       It's just about time to hide
   F
 away?
        Bb    F
       Yeah, yeah!

       Wah, Wah and fade out.
