Intro: C Dm Em F   (2x) 
  
  C                       Dm 
I sometimes sit and think about 
    Em              F 
Our evenings in the firelight 
        C Dm             Em     F 
You and I,  when we were young 
C               Dm              Em 
Laughing at the crazy-patterned shadows 
          F              G     F   G 
That were dancing on the wall
