100 Years Ago

• Dm

INTRO: (organ arranged for guitar) 
             Dm  C  Bb  F 
 
 
VERSE:  Dm       C                   Bb             F 
       Went out walkin' through the wood the other day 
                Dm          C            Bb 
       And the world was a carpet laid before me 
       Dm             C 
       The buds were bursting  
               Bb                       F 
       And the air smelled sweet and strange 
               Dm             C             F 
       And it seemed about a hundred years ago 
 
 
VERSE: 
        Dm      C           Bb          F 
       Mary and I, we would sit upon a gate, 
             Dm              C           Bb 
       Just gazin' at some dragon in the sky. 
       Dm           C               Bb          F 
       What tender days, we had no secrets hid away, 
                  Dm             C            F 
       Well, it seemed about a hundred years ago. 
       G                               Bb 
       Now all my friends are wearing worried smiles, 
        Dm            C                Bb 
       Living out a dream of what they was. 
       G                     Bb                        F 
       Don't you think it's sometimes wise not to grow up? 
VERSE:  
       Went out walkin' through the wood the other day, 
       Can't you see the furrows in my forehead? 
       What tender days, we had no secrets hid away, 
       Now it seems about a hundred years ago. 
 
Chorus: 
       Now if you see me drinkin' bad red wine, 
       Don't worry 'bout this man that you love. 
       Don't you think it's sometimes wise not to grow up? 
 
VERSE: 
      Dm             C       Bb        F   Dm C     Bb 
       You're gonna kiss and say good-bye, yeah, I warn you. 
      Dm             C       Bb        F   Dm C     Bb 
       You're gonna kiss and say good-bye, yeah, I warn you. 
      Dm             C       Bb        F   Dm  C       F 
       You're gonna kiss and say good-bye, oh Lord, I warn you, 
             G                       Bb 
       And please excuse me while I hide away. 
                F 
       Call me lazy bones, 
                     Bb 
       Ain't got no time to waste away, 
        F                       Bb 
       Lazy bones ain't got no time to waste away. 
        G   
       Don't you think, don't you think, 
             Bb                       F 
       It's just about time to hide away? 
        Bb    F 
       Yeah, yeah! 
 
       Wah, Wah and fade out.
