You And I When We Were Young

INTRO:
C Dm Em F   (2x)


  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
That were dancing on the wall


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


INTERLUDE:
C Dm Em F   C Dm Em F


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  Fmaj7  G  E


                           (## NOTE: Key Change ##)


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
