Verse 1
Am 
Em 
Hey, man.
Am 
D 
G 
Em 
From my little corner on this earth, where lies my bed,
a chair, a book, and a
Am 
Em 
small window, from which I gaze out into the far reaches of the world,
Am 
Em 
I   behold the faces
Am 
And I hear the voice.
Em 
And while drifting between my
Am 
inner world and my outer,
Em 
I see young children throwing themselves
Am 
upon each other with laughter and loud cries.
Em 
I see boys with their faces upward lifted
Am 
Em 
Gazing upon a passing
Am 
Em 
cloud as  though reading
Am 
an ode to youth
Asus4 
Am 
Em 
And I see young girls
swaying to and fro
F#m 
Em 
in their maiden beauty, fresh as the spring,
and glancing at boys from behind eyelids,
quivering with love and soft desire.
Dm 
And I see tall young men, standing upon the hills,
D 
looking back over the city,
Am 
And with beautiful faces scorched
D 
with anger and disgust,
Am 
Em 
they glare back down at the
Am 
meaningless futility
F 
Em 
lying beneath the dark shroud of smoke,
rising from the forges and
D 
Em 
factories of man's piddling.
D 
Am 
D 
And then, I  behold the old ones, sitting silently,
Em 
Am 
staring into the corpse -like faces of the
D 
Am 
into their hopes and dreams, long lost,
Em 
Am 
and I hear them crying to us.
Em 
Youth, oh youth of the earth,
Am 
take me with you.
Scatter not away like the seed
Em 
s blown from a fruit blossom,
F 
Em 
Leaving me alone and lame,
Am 
Gm 
F 
And lost in the cold winds of time.
