C G D
(INTRO)
D
there is a tear, old man
C G A
on your face and your hands are shaking
D
is it fear, old man
C G A
or just a trace of hatred awakening?
G A
you've a story to tell
D G
and you tell it so well
A D
but the story is not in the lines on a page,
C G D
the story is in the lines on your face
this is the world, old man
C G A
for which your worked and loved with passion
D
a cultured pearl, old man
C G A
that your heart and hands helped to fashion
G A
they want to change your way of life
D G
a life you thought was right
A D
all you've held dear since birth, they'll rearrange
C G D
but I don't think you're going to live to see the change
C G D (repeat)
(ORCHESTRAL ENDING)
