I Saw My Youth Today Richard Shindell
CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: Em C G D (2x) Em
I saw my youth to[C]day[G]
He passed me on the [D]street[Em]
As he walked by I [C]stood frozen
[G]On my dreaming [D]feet[Em]
He had a kinder [C]face[G]
The kind I've learned to [D]hide[Em]
Behind these cold un[C]yielding stones[G]
That used to be my [D]eyes[G]
A moment [D]please, my [C]boy
[G]Don't you [D]know my [C]name?
Do [G]you remember [D]when
We used to [Em]play a [G]hundred [C]games?
[G]Is your [D]mother [C]well?
[G]Kiss her [D]once for [C]me
And if [G]she should ask you [D]why
You could [Em]say, "Just [D]for no [C]reason"
INSTRUMENTAL: Em C G D (4x) Em
Remember that old [C]troll[G]
That lived inside the [D]tree?[Em]
He was never [C]dangerous
[G]That's just the way it [D]seemed[Em]
The day you climbed the [C]tree[G]
And ran to show me [D]how[Em]
The troll was never [C]seen again[G]
So where could he be [D]now?[G]
A moment [D]please my [C]boy
[G]Don't you [D]know this [C]face?
Do [G]you remember [D]when
I used to [Em]let you [D]win the [C]races?
[G]Please don't [D]run a[C]way
I [G]did not [D]mean to [C]scare you
I'm the [G]one who [D]told you
That you should [Em]never [D]talk to [C]strangers
[G]Is your [D]mother [C]well?
[G]Kiss her [D]once for [C]me
And if [G]she should ask you [D]why
You could [Em]say, "Just [C]for no [D]reason"[Em]
I saw my youth to[C]day[G]
He passed me on the [D]street[Em]
As he walked by I [C]stood frozen
[G]On my dreaming [D]feet
