I hope # my transcription is not way off. # Bm777 F#m57 F#m C#m/E DmaBm777 As far as my eyes can see F#m C#m/E DmBm777 There are shadows surrounding me Am E/G# And to those I left behind Em/G D9/F# I wanted you to know Dm/F Am/E You've always shared my deepest thoughts B7sus B7 EsE7 You follow where I go AmEF/G Am And oh when I'm old and wise Dm Am/C Bitter words mean little to me B7sus B7 Esus E7 Autumn winds will blow right through me Am Em/GF Am And someday in the mist of time Dm Am/C When they asked me if I knew you B7sus B7 Esus E7 F I'd smile and say you were a friend of mine G/F Em7 Am Am/G And the sadness would be lifted from my eyes F G/F A Oh when I'm old and wise As far as my eyes can see There are shadows surrounding me And to those I leave behind I want you all to know You've always shared my darkest hours I'll miss you when I go And oh, when I'm old and wise Heavy words that tossed and blew me Like autumn winds will blow right through me And someday in the mist of time When they ask you if you knew me Remember that you were a friend of mine As the final curtain falls before my eyes Oh when I'm old and wise F#m C#m/E DmaF#m57 As far as my eyes can see A/FG
