Edwards Don - When You And I Were Young guitar tab

Written by George W. Johnson and James Austin Butterfield in 1866.

(D) I wondered to (D7) day to the (G) hill Maggie

To (D) watch the scene be (A7) low

The (D) creek and the (D7) old rusty (G) mill Maggie

Where we (D) sat in the (A7) long long (D) ago

(D7) The (G) green grove is gone from the (D) hill Maggie

Where the (A7) birds sang (E7) loud from the (A7) trees

When I (D) first said I (D7) loved only (G) you Maggie

And (D) you said you (A7) loved only (D) me

But (G) now we are aged and (D) old Maggie

The (A7) trails of (E7) life nearly (A7) done

Lets (D) sing of the (D7) days that are gone (G) Maggie

When (D) you and (A7) I were (D) young

Our dreams they have never come true Maggie

Our hopes they never were to be

When I first said I loved only you Maggie

And you said you loved only me

The green grove is gone from the hill Maggie

Where once the wild flowers sprang

The old rusty mill is now still Maggie

Since you and I were young

But now we are aged and old Maggie

The trails of life nearly run

Lets sing of the days that are gone Maggie

Since you and I were young
