The Beauty Of The Days Gone By

C                   F      C
When I recall just how it felt
                      F          G
When I went walking down by the lake
              C        F      C
My soul was free, my heart awake
C                  F        C
When I walked down into the town

C                     F          C
The mountain air was fresh and clear
                 F          G
The sun was up behind the hill
             C    F      C
It felt so good to be alive
C            F        C
On that morning in spring

C                    F       C
I want to sing this song for you
                     F        G
I want to lift your spirits high
            C      F      C
And in my soul I want to feel
C            F              C
The beauty of the days gone by

C                   F       C
The beauty of the days gone by
                    F      G
It brings a longing to my soul
           C       F        C
To contemplate my own true self
C                  F         C
And keep me young as I grow old

C                   F       C
The beauty of the days gone by
                   F        G
The music that we used to play
               C         F       C
So lift your glass and raise it high
C                   F          C
To the beauty of the days gone by

C                      F        C
I'll sing it from the mountain top
                   F       G
Down to the valley down below
            C     F     C
Because my cup doth overflow
C                     F          C
With the beauty of the days gone by

C                    F             C
The mountain glen where we used to roam
                          F          G
The gardens there by the railroad track
          C       F       C
Oh my memory it does not lie
C                   F          C
Of the beauty of the days gone by

C                   F       C
The beauty of the days gone by
                    F       G
It brings a longing to my soul
           C       F         C
To contemplate my own true self
C                   F        C
And keep me young as I grow old

C                   F        C
And keep me young as I grow old
C                   F        C
And keep me young as I grow old
C                   F        C
And keep me young as I grow old
