       G                        D
Well I know that I said that so long ago

G                  C
I would not say it now

      G                             D
But I didn't know what I said would stick like glue

       Em          C         G
What …I said in the days gone by
[Verse]

Well they tried, tried to stitch me up

        G                           C
So many words, words I said so long ago

         G                    D
Well, we were oh so young and foolish then

                 Em                C       G
Hopefully we can make mistakes and then we grow

For the days of Auld Lang Syne, my love

For the days of Auld Lang Syne

        G                             D
I wanna drink, I wanna drink a cup of kindness with you

        Em            C                     G
For the sake, for the sake of the days gone by

And hopefully, we will keep on growing and growing

 G                                        C
Baby, baby, baby, baby, 'til we reach the sky

     G                             D
If I ever reach, my love I haven't reached

          Em             C            G
I'm gonna surely have to try, have to try

I wanna drink, I wanna drink a cup of kindness

  G                                      D
I feel so sorry, I feel so sorry for the ones who lead

       G                                    C
For to lead, they wanna lead such a perfect life

            G                                 D
Sweep under everything, sweep everything underneath the rug

            Em              C                           G
And they're never free from conflict, from conflict and strife
[Verse]
                G                              D
Because they perpetuate, perpetuate some kinda lie, my love

Perpetuate, perpetuate the lie

    G                                         D

There is no easy way, no easy way out my friend

You got to get used to it somehow

               G                               D
Everything you got in your life, right up 'til now

Somebody had to fight for it in the days gone by

Well, I go walking, walking up that hillside now

          G                             C
Where the heather, heather's growing so wild

        G                             D
And I'm going to carry my child on my shoulders 'cross the river

     G                                          D
Everything I have in my life right now I had to fight for it,

G                              C
Fight for it, fight for it somehow

      G                                D
Gotta keep on fighting today, fighting every which way

        Em          C         G
For the sake of the days gone by

And never brought to mind

  G                                   D
I wanna drink, I wanna drink a cup of kindness

        Em      C         G
For the sake of Auld Lang Syne
