[Verse 1]
[C]Oh,[G][Am][G][F][G][C]
the neon
lights were flashing
and the [F]icy winds did [C]blow
Water [G]seeped into [Am]his [G]shoes
and the [F]drizzle turned [C]to snow
His [F]eyes were red, his [C]hopes were dead,
and the [Am]wine was running [E]low
And the [F]old man came [G]home
from the [C]forest
His tears fell on the sidewalk
as [F]he stumbled in the [C]street
A dozen [G]faces [Am]stopped to stare,
[G]but no [F]one stopped to [C]speak
For his [F]castle was a hall[C]way,
and the [Am]bottle his only [E]friend
And [F]the old man stumbled [G]in
from the [C]forest
Up a dark and dingy staircase
the [F]old man made his [C]way
His ragged [G]coat [Am]around him
as [F]upon his cot he [C]lay
And he [F]wondered how it [C]happened
that [Am]it all turned out this [E]way
Getting [F]lost like a [G]fool in the [C]forest
And as he lay there sleeping
a [F]vision did ap[C]pear
Upon his [G]battle [Am]shine
in the [F]face of one so [C]dear
Who [F]loved him in [C]the springtime
of a [Am]long forgotten [E]year
When the [F]wildflowers did [G]bloom
in the [C]forest[G][Am][F][G]
[C]
Oh, she touched his grizzled fingers
and [F]she called him by his [C]name
Then he [G]heard the [Am]joyful sound
[G]of chi[F]ldren at their gam[C]es
In [F]an old house on a [C]hillside
in [Am]some forgotten [E]town
Where the [F]river runs [G]down
from the [C]forest
Where the mighty roar them
big jets soar [F]above the canyon [C]streets
The conmen con [Am]but life goes on
before [F]the city [C]sleeps
For [F]an old forgotten sol[C]dier
the [Am]dawn will come no [E]more
For [F]the old man has come [G]home
From the [C]forest

[Outro 1]
