DmCBbF
[Verse] 
DmCBbF Went out walkin' through the wood the other day
DmCBb And the world was a carpet laid before me
DmC The buds were bursting
BbF And the air smelled sweet and strange
DmCF And it seemed about a hundred years ago
 [Verse] 
DmCBbF Mary and I, we would sit upon a gate,
DmCBb Just gazin' at some dragon in the sky.
DmCBbF What tender days, we had no secrets hid away,
DmCF Well, it seemed about a hundred years ago.
 [Chorus] 
BbA Now all my friends are wearing worried smiles,
DmCBb Living out a dream of what they was.
GBbF Don't you think it's sometimes wise not to grow up?
 [Verse] 
DmCBbF Went out walkin' through the wood the other day,
DmCBb Can't you see the furrows in my forehead?
DmCBbF What tender days, we had no secrets hid away,
DmCF Now it seems about a hundred years ago.
 [Chorus] 
BbA Now if you see me drinkin' bad red wine,
DmCBb Don't worry 'bout this man that you love.
GBbF 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,
BbG And please excuse me while I hide away.
 [Outro] 
F Call me lazy bones,
Bb Ain't got no time to waste away,
FBb Lazy bones ain't got no time to waste away.
G Don't you think, don't you think,
BbF It's just about time to hide away?
BbF Yeah, yeah!
Wah, Wah and fade out.
