                    A5 
We passed upon the stairs, 
                    D5 
We spoke of was and when 
                  A5 
Although I wasn't there 
                  F5 
He said I was his friend 
                    C5 
Which came as a surprise 
                 A5                           D5 
I spoke into his eyes -- I thought you died alone 
                    C5 
A long long time ago

Oh no, not me, 
             RIFF2 
We never lost control,

You're face to face,

With the man who sold the world

                        A5 
I laughed and shook his hand, 
                  D5 
I made my way back home, 
                        A 
I searched for form and land, 
                      F5 
Years and years I roamed, 
                 C5 
I gazed a gazely stare, 
                     A5                         D5 
We walked a million hills -- I must have died alone, 
                    RIFF 
A long long time ago. 
 
               RIFF 
Who knows, not me, 
  C#5                RIFF 
I never lost control,

You're face, to face, 
         C#5               
With the man who sold the world.
