  			C                   F      C 
When I recall just how it felt 
                      F          G 
When I went walking down by the lake 
              C        F      C 
My soul was free, my heart awake 
C                  F        C 
When I walked down into the town 

C                     F          C 
The mountain air was fresh and clear 
                 F          G 
The sun was up behind the hill 
             C    F      C 
It felt so good to be alive 
C            F        C 
On that morning in spring 

C                    F       C 
I want to sing this song for you 
                     F        G 
I want to lift your spirits high 
            C      F      C 
And in my soul I want to feel 
C            F              C 
The beauty of the days gone by 

C                   F       C 
The beauty of the days gone by 
                    F      G 
It brings a longing to my soul 
           C       F        C 
To contemplate my own true self 
C                  F         C 
And keep me young as I grow old 

C                   F       C 
The beauty of the days gone by 
                   F        G 
The music that we used to play 
               C         F       C 
So lift your glass and raise it high 
C                   F          C 
To the beauty of the days gone by 

C                      F        C 
I'll sing it from the mountain top 
                   F       G 
Down to the valley down below 
            C     F     C 
Because my cup doth overflow 
C                     F          C 
With the beauty of the days gone by 

C                    F             C 
The mountain glen where we used to roam 
                          F          G 
The gardens there by the railroad track 
          C       F       C 
Oh my memory it does not lie 
C                   F          C 
Of the beauty of the days gone by 

C                   F       C 
The beauty of the days gone by 
                    F       G 
It brings a longing to my soul 
           C       F         C 
To contemplate my own true self 
C                   F        C 
And keep me young as I grow old 


C                   F        C 
And keep me young as I grow old 
C                   F        C 
And keep me young as I grow old 
C                   F        C 
And keep me young as I grow old
