Dm  C  Bb  F

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

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

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

[Verse]
Dm       C                   Bb                F
Went out walkin' through the wood the other day,
          Dm          C            Bb
Can't you see the furrows in my forehead?
Dm             C             Bb          F
What tender days, we had no secrets hid away,
           Dm             C            F
Now it seems about a hundred years ago.

[Chorus]
Bb                              A
Now if you see me drinkin' bad red wine,
        Dm            C                Bb
Don't worry 'bout this man that you love.
G                     Bb                        F
Don't you think it's sometimes wise not to grow up?

[Verse]
Dm
 You're gonna kiss and say good-bye, yeah, I warn you.
Dm
 You're gonna kiss and say good-bye, yeah, I warn you.
Dm
 You're gonna kiss and say good-bye, oh Lord, I warn you,
       Bb                       G
 And please excuse me while I hide away.

[Outro]
         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                       F
It's just about time to hide away?
 Bb    F
Yeah, yeah!
Wah, Wah and fade out.
