The Allman Brothers Band – Old Before My Time (Ukulele)

Em                                              D         C
There is a long hard road that winds so far behind me,

G                           Am  C
Its so cold Im about to die,

Em
Chasing a dream around the world

D                        C
Has got me feeling down

G               F              C
Though it use to make me high

Am                 D          Am             Em
Looking for answers searching for the truth,

C        G        Am
In an ocean of lies.

D                      G              Am               Em
trying to find a reason to make the whole thing rhyme,

C                       D            G
will make you old before your time

Em
When I was younger,

D                             C
I thought I ruled the world,

G                            Am   C
It was an oyster at my feet,

Em
Dancing to my own drum,

D                    C
fishing out the pearl

G                            F             C
wish I could have been much more discreet

Am             D
Ive lived a lifetime,

Am               Em
acting out a part,

C              G             Am
Its been a long uphill climb,

D                G                          Am      Em
now all the things that use to mean so much to me

C                        D       G
Have made me old before my time,

C                                 G
Wondering aimlessly,wondering aloud,

Em         C                    D
could it ever be much different now,

C
Remind me of the past,

G
I slip into a dream,

Em                C                     D
funny things aint never what they seem,

Em
Living like children,

           D                   C
never doing what we are told,

G                                   Am  C
Would not hesitate to take a chance,

Em                                              D     C
That road behind me now was paved with fools gold,

G              F                       C
Its almost time for the victory dance,

Am                      D
No more feeling guilty,

Am                       Em
for things I never did,

C           B/G                  Am
feeling nothing for my crime,

D                   G
Living like a gypsy,

Am                    Em
dreaming like a kid,

C                     D         G
Has made me old before my time
