{title: Old and Wise}
{subtitle: Alan Parsons Project}
# by Maurizio Codogno 
# From album _Eye in the Sky_
# orig. in C
# I know that F#m5 is an oxymoron, since a power chord has no 3rd - but I
# prefer to state it so, because people may choose to play a standard F#m.
# Of course it is not simple to simulate piano chords on a guitar... I hope
# my transcription is not way off.

  And oh, when I'm old and wise
  Heavy words that tossed and blew me
  Like autumn winds will blow right through me
  And someday in the mist of time
  When they ask you if you knew me
  Remember that you were a friend of mine
  As the final curtain falls before my eyes
  Oh when I'm old and wise
