G                C          D 
I've seen my old friends in so many places 
     Cmaj7     G          D 
That I can't remember the names 
       G             C        D 
And it takes me back home to all of the faces 
         Cmaj7         D      G 
Where my memories will always remain 

 
G        F         Em 
I'm just bidin' my time 
D               Cmaj7           D            Cmaj7 
It's dust on my saddle and it's clouds in my mind 
G        F         Em 
I'm just bidin' my time 
        C              D      G    D 
'till I leave this old city behind 

I'm tired of the concret and people so busy 
Their life's nothing more than a flame 
And a fire burns inside me in pastures are calling out 
Find peace of mind once again 

    D                              C             G 
Oh, listen to the trees, can't you feel the cool breeze 
A                            D 
Isn't this the ways meant to be?
