Standard (EADGBE)

 A dirty wind blows through the sky

 And the Autumn leaves cut loose and fly

 Leave me watching

 And wishing I could follow

 Though among the regrets that I can't get by

 There are just one or two

Unkind things I said to you

Daddy what was I supposed to do?

I don't know why it was so hard to talk to you

I guess my anger pulled me through

 No sooner had I hit the streets

 When I met the fools that a young fool meets

All in search of truth and bound for glory

 And listening to our own heart beats

 We stood around the drum

 Though it's fainter now

 The older I become

Living your life day after day

Soon all your plans and changes

 Either fail or fade away

Leaving so much still left to say

 But Daddy I want to let you know somehow

 The things you said are so much clearer now

 And I would turn the pages back

 But time will not allow

 The way these days just rip along

 Too fast to last, too vast, too strong

Somewhere something went wrong

 Or maybe we forgot the song

 Make room for my forty-fives

 Along beside your seventy-eights

 Nothing survives

But the way we live our lives
