Harry Chapin – Old College Avenue (Guitar)

G          G/F#      G/E    G/F#  G        G/F#     G/E  G/F#
Of course I picked a rainy night to try to find our past

G          G/F#            G/E       G/F#  G           G/F#    G/E   G/F# - G      - G/F#
The street lights all were flickering, the leaves were falling fast

Em   D#+           G/D        D#+ Em       D#+         G/D    Em/C#
I walked down the winding road and look up through the trees

       Am/C   G/B      Am7  G    D/F#     Am7/E           D7
And I saw the corner window that you once shared with me

       G             G7       C
It was Old College Avenue and in the time of having you

    G                            D
I remember it as if it were today

    G                  G7
The tiny room and the single bed

           C                                  G
Though the tangled trails of time have led us far astray

                    D
The memory seems to stay

            Bm
And through all the roads that led me on

            C
And through all the years that you've been gone

       Em                     C     Fmaj7   D7
I have found that it would never go away

       G            G7        C
It was Old College Avenue and in the time of having you

     G           D7
I remember it as if it were today

G                      G/E  G/F# G        G/F#  G/E    G/F#
That fall turned in to winter, the winter into spring

G         G/F#       G/E          G/F# G       G/F# - G/E - G      - G/F#
And all the while you led me through a sweet awakening

Em     D#+        G/D         D#+ Em        D#+        G/D
But summer never came that year, it's what you went to find

Em/C#   Am/C     Em/B   Am7     G         D/F#      Am7/E        D7
And you took my future with you, and you left your past behind

       G             G7       C
It was Old College Avenue and in the time of having you

    G                            D
I remember it as if it were today

    G                  G7
The tiny room and the single bed

           C                                  G
Though the tangled trails of time have led us far astray

                    D
The memory seems to stay

            Bm
And through all the roads that led me on

            C
And through all the years that you've been gone

       Em                     C     Fmaj7    D7
I have found that it would never go away

       G            G7        C
It was Old College Avenue and in the time of having you

     G           D7           Em
I remember it as if it were today

    Am7            D7        G
I remember you as if it were today
