Intro 1
(A minor) (F major)
(A minor) (F major)
(A minor)
Verse 1
(A minor) We were young
together once upon a long lost time
(F major) Apple trees were blossoming and
(A minor) spring was on my (G major) mind
(A minor) Guitars on MacDougal Street,
(G major) sandals in the snow
(F major) When I fell in love with you,
I (G major) was the (A minor) last to (D major) know
(A minor) Down in Greenwich Village we
were scattered through the nights
Singing (F major) at The Bitter End (A minor) under
all those light (G major) s
(F major) Making love in single beds,
you (E minor) always left by dawn
(F major) Climbing on the Greyhound bus
(E minor) where you would be alone
(C major) (A minor)

Verse 2
Singing in MacArthur Park,
singing in Cheyenne (G major)
(F major) Singing in the wilderness
(A minor) where the truth began (E minor)
(A minor) We were gypsies in the wind,
(G major) learning just to fly
(F major) Making music,
making love (A minor) as the years went (D major) by
(A minor) You had rhythm in your soul, I had violins
(F major) You were rich and I was poor,
try (A minor) ing to fit in
(F major) Back on Bleeker in the spring and
(E minor) haunting Jackson Square
(F major) In the Fat Black Pussy Cat,
(E minor) catch me if you (C major) dare
Verse 3
(C major)
We were so (G minor) alive
(F major) (C major)
Verse 4
(A minor) Then the world was going mad,
the sky was overcast
I found (F major) my peace in whiskey
and the (A minor) poets of the past
You were moving past me through the
(G major) dark night of your soul
(F major) I was singing folk songs and
(A minor) dreamed of rock and (D major) roll
The (A minor) devil's in the details, you said,
dreaming of your death (G major)
(F major) I was running faster,
I was (A minor) nearly out of breath
(F major) Long before we lost our dreams
an (E minor) d all our songs were sung
You (F major) left the world too early,
your (E minor) spirit died too (C major) young
Verse 5
(C major)
We were so (G minor) alive
Interlude 1
(F major) (C major) (A minor)
Verse 6
I (A minor) was headed for the moon,
(G major) aching to be free
(F major) Searching for the answers in the
(E minor) booze (A minor) and the marquee
What is left of Greenwich Village
(G major) lives among your (A minor) songs
The ones (F major) we thought were always
right (E minor) and never (A minor) would be (D major) wrong
Now (A minor) sometimes the only thing
that gives me (G major) hope is (A minor) you
(F major) You who saw right through the veil (D minor)
that (A minor) fell out of the blue
(F major) I will always miss you,
I (E minor) will always hear your song (G major) s
(F major) Now the past is fading,
one more dream (E minor) and it is (C major) gone
Verse 7
(C major)
We were so (G minor) alive
Interlude 2
(F major) (C major) (A minor)
Verse 8
(A minor) We were young together once
(G major) upon a long lost time
(F major) Apple trees were blossoming and
(G major) spring was (A minor) on my mind
Guitars on MacDougal Street,
(G major) sandals in the snow
(F major) I am still in love with (A minor) you,
I was the last to (D major) know
