[Intro 1]
[A][Asus2][A][D]

[Verse 1]
All the [D]neon
lights were flashing
and the [G]icy winds did [D]blow
The water [A]seeped into [Bm]his shoes
and the [G]drizzle turned to [D]snow
His [G]eyes were red, [D]his hopes were dead,
and the [Bm]wine was running [F#]low
And the [G]old man came [A]home
from the [D]forest
His tears fell on the sidewalk
as he [G]stumbled in the [D]street
A dozen faces [Bm]stopped to stare
but [G]no one stopped to [D]speak
For his [G]castle was a hall[D]way
and the [Bm]bottle was his [F#]friend
And the [G]old man stumbled [A]in
from the [D]forest
Up a dark and dingy staircase
the [G]old man made his [D]way
His ragged coat [Bm]around him
as the [G]farthest cot he [D]lay
And he [G]wondered how it [D]happened
that he'd [Bm]ended up this [F#]way
Getting [G]lost like a [A]fool
In the [D]forest
And as he lay there sleeping
A [G]vision did ap[D]pear
Upon his mental [A]shin[Bm] ing
The [G]face of one so [D]dear
Who'd [G]loved him in the spring[D]time
Of a [Bm]long forgotten [F#]year
When the [G]wildflowers did [A]bloom
In the [D]forest
She touched his grizzled fingers
And she [G]called him by his [D]name
Then he [A]heard [D]the joy[Bm]ful sound
Of [G]children at their [D]game
In a [G]farmhouse on a [D]hillside
In [Bm]some forgotten [F#]town
Where the [G]river runs [A]down
From the [D]forest[G][D][A][Bm][G]
[D][G][D][Bm][F#]
[G][A][D]
With a mighty roar
the big jet soars
above [G]the canyon [D]streets
And the conmen [A]con
but [Bm]life goes on
for the [G]city never [D]sleeps
To an [G]old forgotten sol[D]dier
the [Bm]dawn will come no [F#]more
For the [G]old man has come [A]home
from the [D]forest
To an [G]old forgotten sol[D]dier
the [Bm]dawn will come no [F#]more
For the [G]old man has [A]come home
From the [D]forest
[A]
