Intro 1

Verse 1
D 
Lead me down the velvet trail
C 
To the single and the sea
Em 
Jet fighters flying over head
G 
Feeling melancholy
D 
Jet fighters flying over head
C 
Leaving trails across the sky
Em 
Fly into the setting sun
G 
Summer leaves without goodbye
I wandered down the old
D 
arcade
C 
Where teenage dreams are one and lost
Em 
Just a few old dirty coins
G 
Mean so much when you are young
D 
And the rain starts to fall
C 
Splashing off the carousel
Em 
Now all the horses look for loss
G 
So many memories to mourn
D 
Things will never be the same
C 
Painted faces fading fast
And like the spark of youthful
Em 
hope
G 
Those smiles were never meant to last
D 
I can see the sea
C 
Too busy looking out for me
Em 
So leave me down the velvet trail
G 
Where my summers used to be
D 
The grass is wild and overgrown
C 
I walked the trail all on my own
Em 
Where the foxes made its lair
G 
My memories are found in there
D 
And the night (??) looks for shells
C 
One for sorrow, two for joy
Em 
Steal away my shining things
G 
Steal the treasure from the boy
D 
Once there was you and there was me
C 
Both so young and so carefree
Back when the beach
Em 
had golden sand
G 
And dreams we held within our hand
D 
Or was this just our golden age?
C 
And as the movie fades to blank
Em 
The gold never ours to  keep
G 
We always have to give it back
D 
Lead me down the velvet trail
C 
To things that were and never was
Em 
I'm to see who last comes in
G 
And all my memories are lost
D 
Lead me down the velvet trail
C 
As the rain begins to fall
Em 
All the pathways that I walked
G 
I don't remember now at all
