**CAPO 3rd FRET**
Intro:
GCBDCGEBCGC
Some time as a much older man
BmD
I will sit down and put on this song.
CG
It just might make me cry,
EmBmC
Or at the very least a tear in my eye.
GC
I can't take all these years of my life
BmD
To be widdle down into a thought
CG
That only appears to the ear
EmBmC
I need memories perfectly clear.
GCBD
Mmama
CGEmCm
Mama mama.
I just want to be making my mind,
Keep from changing my mind not to change.
Cause I'm greedy as the sea,
And that's how it always will be.
I'll be somebody now, and I'll be somebody then,
And I'll be all of you all in between.
And then I'll be ready to leave
When the whole world is taken with me.
Mama, mama
Mama, mama.
Mama, mama
Mama, mama.
AmD
Cause there's so many days in a year.
AmD
And there's so many years in my head.
CG
So I think about when I'll be dead,
CG
And how those very last moments get spent.
CD
And if I think about you is that something you think you'd accept?
--Piano Break-- (Same pattern, soloing in g?)
Some time as a much older man
I will sit down and put on this song.
It just might make me cry,
Or at the very least a tear in my eye.
