As far as my eyes can see,
          F#m         C#m/E     DM7 C#m7 DM7 C#m7 Bm7
There are shadows ap- prouching me
 
[Verse 1]
       Am                E/G#    Em/G          D/F#
And to those I leave be- hind, I wanted you to know...
       Dm/F             Am/E
You've always shared my deepest thoughts,
    B7sus4  B7      E7sus4  E7
You follow  where I go
 
[Verse 2]
    Am       Em/G   F                    Am
And oh, oh - oh,     ...when I'm old and wise,
Dm                    Am/C
    Bitter words mean little to me,
B7sus4         B7         E7sus4     E7
        Autumn winds will blow right through me
 
[Verse 3]
    Am     Em/G   F                   Am
And some - day,    ...in the mists of time,
Dm                   Am/C
    When they ask me if  I knew you,
    B7sus4     B7       E7sus4 E7        F
I'd smile, and say, you were a friend of mine
 
[Refrain]
        G/F              Em7            Am    Am/G
And the sadness would be lifted from my eyes,
F      G/F              A     N.C.
   Oh, when I'm old and wise

There are shadows sur- rounding me
 
[Verse 4]
       Am                E/G#    Em/G            D/F#
And to those I leave be- hind, I want you all to know
          Dm/F             Am/E
...You've always shared my darkest hours,
     B7sus4   B7     E7sus4  E7
I'll miss you when I go
 
[Verse 5]
    Am       Em/G   F                    Am
And oh, oh - oh,     ...when I'm old and wise,
Dm                   Am/C
    Heavy words that tossed and blew me,
B7sus4             B7          E7sus4     E7
       Like autumn winds, will blow right through me
 
[Verse 6]
    Am     Em/G   F                   Am
And some - day,    ...in the mists of time,
Dm                    Am/C
    When they ask you if you knew me,
     B7sus4 B7       E7sus4 E7        F
Re - member that you were a friend of mine
 
[Refrain]
       G/F           Em7             Am    Am/G
As the final curtain falls before my eyes-------,

    Oh, when I'm old and wise
