As recorded by Nick Drake (1968 recording from the 2007 Album FAMILY TREE) [Intro] E C#m Am E E7 C#m Am E [Verse 1]
E7          C#m       Am         E
Tramp moves on to the end of the street

E7              C#m         Am      E
I listen to the echo of his hobnail feet

A7                 Am        E
For some there's a future to find

      Bm    A                    E
But I think they're leaving me behind
[Verse 2]
    E7            C#m Am               E          
The world hurries on  at its breakneck pace

E7     C#m             Am       E          
People fly by in their lifelong race

    A7             Am        E   A E      
For them there's a future to find

      Bm7           A            E        
And I think they're leaving me behind
[Verse 3]
    E7           C#m           Am                E           
The chances they come, but the chances have been lost

E7             C#m            Am          E           
Success can be gained, but at too great a cost

A7                 Am        E                
For some there's a future to find

      Bm            A            E                   
But I think they're leaving me behind
[Verse 4]
    E7          C#m    A                E          
The wind sweeps up and goes back to its tree

E7             C#m      A             E       
The rain flows by and moves on to the sea

    A7             Am        E        
For them there's a future to find

      Bm            A          E         
But I think they're leaving me behind
