Music & Lyrics by Neil Young From the album American Stars 'n Bars (1977) [Intro] | F | C7 | C | F | [Verse 1]
 F
Hello, my old friend.

                      C7
It's good to see you smiling.

        C
You've been around so long,

              F
you must be strong.

      F
And single life really

         C7
has its fine points,

       C
Like friends to help you out

                F
when things go wrong.
[Chorus]
               F    Fsus4 F
Hold back the tears

                  Bb
That you've been cryin'.

              C7
Push off the fears

                 C7
When they come around.

               F    Fsus4 F
Hold back the tears,

              Bb
And keep on trying.

                       F
Just around the next corner

          C7    C         F    Fsus4 F
May be waiting your true love
[Verse 2]
 F
Two lying fools,

                      C7
And then four cryin' eyes,

                  C7
Counting on one another

      F
to survive.

 F
Crazy love

                       C7
must surely have this pain,

           C7
If getting up

                   F
means going down again.
[Chorus]
               F    Fsus4 F
Hold back the tears

                  Bb
That you've been cryin'.

              C7
Push off the fears

                 C7
When they come around.

               F    Fsus4 F
Hold back the tears,

              Bb
And keep on trying.

                       F
Just around the next corner

          C7    C         F   Fsus4 F
May be waiting your true love
[Interlude] | F | C7 | C | F | x2 [Chorus]
               F    Fsus4 F

That you've been cryin'.

              C7
Push off the fears

                 C7
When they come around.

               F    Fsus4 F
Hold back the tears,

              Bb
And keep on trying.

                       F
Just around the next corner

          C7    C         F   Fsus4 F
