Verse 1
G
When

I was young and I was in my day
G
Am

C
D
G
Long be fore I was the man you see today
I was born beneath a star
C
G
Am
that promised all I could have lived

my life between Kharkov and Yale
G
But the wheel of fortune took me
Am
from the highest point she shook me
C

D
the matador rav ing
G
And when I die,
C
I'll die a drunk down on the street
G
Am
He will count me out to ten,
D
and clear the feet.
G
Wrap the starry plough around me,
Am
let the piper's air resound me,
C

There I'll rest until the Lord of love I
G

meet.
