intro: C F Am G C F Am G
                 C         G                C  Am
The old man's sitting there, his head bowed down

      F        G#dim         Am               G
Every now and then he'll take a look around

         F    G           Em            Am            
And his eyes reflect the memory-pain of years gone by

    Am       F      G       Dm          G   Em     C   F Am G
He can't regain nostalgic dreams he'll never see again

                 C  G             C  Am
With trembling hands, he wipes a tear

      F         G#dim         Am               G
Many fall like rain, there's one for every year

         F    G             Em              Am
And his life laid out so clearly now, life that's brought death

     Am      F       G       Dm      G      Em      C  F Am G
So nearly now life once he clung to dearly now lets go

F             Am            G        C
But spare a thought as you pass him by

        Am               G       F
Take a closer look and you'll say

            Am  G    C             F          Am       G
He's our tomorrow, just as much as we are his yesterday

          C  G             C   Am
A lonely grave, and soon forgot

     F         G#dim   Am                  G
Only wind and leaves lament his mournful song

           F    G   Em
Yet they shout his epitaph out clear

      Am             Am    F    
For anyone who's passing near

    G          Dm      G    Em       C
It names the person lying here as you
And you...and you...and you...
