[Intro] D Em/F# D Em/F# [Verse 1]

Em/F#                D
When I was young, younger than before

Em/F#                        D
I never saw the truth hanging from the door

F#m            Em/F#
And now I'm older see it face to face

F#m               Em/F#            D
And now I'm older gotta get up clean the place

D Em/F# D Em/F# [Verse 2] And I was green, greener than the hill Where flowers grow and the sun shone still Now I'm darker than the deepest sea Just hand me down, give me place to be [Verse 3] And I was strong, strong in the sun I thought I'd see when day was done Now I'm weaker than the palest blue Oh so weak in this need for you CHORDS:

NOTE: While playing D, constantly hammer on and off the second fret note of the G string. With Em/F#, the second fret note of the lowest D string is hammered on, then the second fret note of the A string is often hammered on too. There is much more going on in this song, particularly the solo, but I figured something is better than nothing. Maybe I'll get back and do a more detailed version one of these days- anyone else who wants to try is very welcome to.
