	  		Intro 
A    G    D  (x4) 
F   C   G   D (x2) 
A 
C  C/B  C/A  C/F   G 

 
C            C/B                      C/A        G             C 
We've come a long, long way since the days of my grandfather's time 
C           C/B      C/A       D          G 
And I can't say it's all been forward 
Am                    G          F    G      C     C/B 
I don't know what I'd say to any grandson of mine 
   Am     G         F        Em          Am 
If he was tryin' to make his own way star-ward 



Verse: 1 
F              G 
And I hate to see him go 
C            G 
But I'd be glad to know 
F                Em           Am 
Part of me would live to see tomorrow 
F               G 
We thought our days were 
Am          G 
Bought and paid for 
F                 Em            Am 
Came to find that time was only borrowed 


Verse: 2 
C             C/B              C/A       G       C 
A man and his horse used to be worth two bucks a day 
C           C/B                 C/A                 D       G 
Now that won't even pay for the hay, and that's the horse's meal 
Am            G 
I played in a band 
F G                C 
I lived in an old Chevrolet van 
Am 
Back in the days of the automobile 


Verse: 3 
F               G 
We lived on the land 
C                   G 
And tried to make a stand 
F               Em                     Am 
Just hoped that man would learn to get by 
F                   G 
And we poisoned the earth 
C                            G 
And took her for all she was worth 
F                   Em                 Am 
But it was here I's born and here I'll die 


Verse: 4 
F                  G 
And you can't get away 
C                         G 
From that final Judgement Day 
F             Em      Am 
No matter how far we fly 

 
C            C/B                      C/A        G             C 
We've flown a long, long way since the days of my grandfather's time 
C           C/B      C/A       D          G 
And I can't say it's all been forward 
Am                    G          F    G      C     C/B 
I don't know what I'd say to any grandson of mine 
Am     G         F        Em          Am 
If he was tryin' to make his own way star-ward
