The Young People

C Am Oh, the day that they found him swinging C Am A day they'll not soon forget G Four long years ago F It can't be over yet C Am His tongue was tasting the morning C Am His feet were ringing a bell G Five times on the road F And six times that he fell C F When the young people dance C F G They do not dance forever C F It is written in sand C G C With the softest of feathers Am C It is not writ in stone C F G Like the walls of the chapel Am F And soon it is gone C G C Like the soft winters apple C Am Fly on your wings like an eagle C Am Fly like the heroes of old G Half your life ago F Your hands are turning cold C F When the young people dance C F G They do not dance forever C F It is written in sand C G C With the softest of feathers Am C It is not writ in stone C F G Like the walls of the chapel Am F And soon it is gone C G C Like the soft winters apple C F When the young people dance C F G They do not dance forever C F It is written in sand C G C With the softest of feathers Am C It is not writ in stone C F G Like the walls of the chapel Am F And soon it is gone C G C Like the soft winters apple C F When the young people dance C F G They do not dance forever C F It is written in sand C G C With the softest of feathers Am C It is not writ in stone C F G Like the walls of the chapel Am F And soon it is gone C G C Like the soft winters apple C F When the young people dance C F G They do not dance forever C F It is written in sand C G C With the softest of feathers Am C It is not writ in stone C F G Like the walls of the chapel Am F And soon it is gone C G C Like the soft winters apple
