C G F C Old man time is a rare old man Am C G For a young man he'll ever remainI F C Am G With his long grey beard and his clothes are plain F G C Oh Old Man Time is his name.

VERSE

C G F C To me, Old Man, your time is rare, Am C G Did God not give you all my sand? F C Am G Or maybe mine I had to share F G C Or is there some left in your hand? Am G F Am They tell me time is gold, well maybe it's been sold, C G Or was it simply washed away in rain? Am F C G With a careful hand, he tends the sand, F G C Oh, Old Man Time is his name. Am G If I brought him a sack, F Am Do you think he'd put some back? C G I know one day across my path he'll come, Am F C G But as for now, I can't say how, F G C Am I know that old man's work is far from done. F G C PLAY INTRO 3x's For Old Man Time has just begun
