Lyrics

I walked a cross

I knew the path way like the (Esus)back of my (E)hand.

I felt the earth

Sat by the riv er and it (Esus)made me com (E)plete.

Oh, sim ple thing,

where have (A)you gone?

I’m get ting old and I need (Bm)some thing to re (Esus)ly (E7)on.

So tell me when

you’re gon na let (A)me in.

I’m get ting tired and I need (Bm)some where to be (Esus)gin.

I came a cross

a fall en tree.

I felt the branch es of it (Esus)look ing at (E7)me.

Is this the place

we used to love?

Is this the place that I’ve been (Esus)dream ing (E7)of?

Oh, sim ple thing,

where have (A)you gone?

I’m get ting old and I need (Bm)some thing to re (Esus)ly (E7)on.

So tell me when

And if you have a (A)min ute, why don’t (A)we (E)go
