[Verse 1]
[Em]Now[A][Em][A]
[Em]I'm [A]alone in t[G]he world
My [D]children [G]grew up and moved away
They [Em]told me [A]that I [G]could come
But to [D]me with [G]my bride
I [D]said I [G]would stay
What a [Em]long, long time it's been
Now I've [A]got grand[Em]children
I've never seen
And [C]my mind just drift
[Em]s away [G]on a c[Am]loud
[G]I've [Em]fought [A]into [G]bloody wars,
got [D]wounded as [G]well
I've [Em]done [D]many [G]things,
I've [Em]been all [A]over this [G]world
An[D]d I've met them a[G]ll,
[Em]princes [D]and [G]kings
An[Em]d if I close my eyes,
I'll dream [Asus4]that I'm [A]rebo[Em]rn
And I'll [C]relive [G]the days of my [Am]youth[Em]
And I remember good [C]times,
[Em]a long, long [G]time [Em]ago
Now I am counting [A]my [G]years,
[D]I'm jealous of [G]all [D]my younger [G]men
They [Em]say that [A]the average [G]man,
he lives [D]to be [G]three, [D]score years and [G]ten
But [Em]I really [Am]can't [Em]com plain,
for I've never suffered pain
But my mind [C]just [F]drifts [G]away on a [Am]cloud
[G]Sweet
[A]Isabella, [G]my wife, she died [D]very [G]young,
I wish [D]she were [G]here
[Em]Whilst giving birth [A]to
[G]Christine, [D]our youngest [G]girl
who's [Em]in her 20th [D]yea[G]r
What [Em]she gave, [Am]all she c[Em]ould give,
well I guess [A]that [Am]she [Em]was too good to live
And my mind [C]just [F]drifts [G]away
And it's [C]another end[F]less [G]day
My [C]mind just drift[F]s away
[G]On [Em]a clo[Am]ud[Em]
And I remember good [G]times
[C]A lon[G]g, lon[Em]g time ago[C][Em][Am]
