Verse  
   Am        G        F     Fmaj7   F 
As far as my eyes can see 
          Am        G          F   Fmaj7   F   
There are shadows approaching me 
       Cm             G 
And to those I left behind 
  Bb            F 
I wanted you to know 
       Fm               Cm 
You've always shared my deepest thoughts 
    D              G 
You follow where I go 
    Cm  Gm  Fm                Cm 
And oooooooh when I'm old and wise 
Fm                Cm 
Bitter words mean little to me 
D                G 
Autumn wids will blow right through me 
    Cm  Gm Fm              Cm 
And someday in the midst of time 
Fm                 Cm 
When they asked me if I knew you 
    D                 G                Ab 
I'd smile and say you were a friend of mine 
    Bb               Gm             Cm 
And sadness would be lifted from my eyes 
Ab Bb               C 
Oh when I'm old and wise

Remember that you were a friend of mine 
       Bb             Gm              Cm 
As the final curtains falls before my eyes 
Ab Bb               C 
Oh when I'm old and wise 
   Am        G        F     Fmaj7   F   A 
As far as my eyes can see
