You And I (when We Were Young)

	  		
  
Intro: C Dm Em F   (2x) 
  
  C                       Dm 
I sometimes sit and think about 
    Em              F 
Our evenings in the firelight 
        C Dm             Em     F 
You and I,  when we were young 
C               Dm              Em 
Laughing at the crazy-patterned shadows 
          F              G     F   G 
That were dancing on the wall 
  
  
Chorus: 
F         Em    Dm           C 
Without a care, with time to spend 
F      Em           Dm       C    F 
Hardly speaking for hours on end 
                                 G F G  
That was you and I, when we were young 
  
  
INTERLUDE: C Dm Em F   C Dm Em F 
  
  
C               Dm               
Walking hand in hand 
           Em           F 
Beside the river at the weekends 
        C Dm             Em     F 
You and I,  when we were young 
C                   Dm                Em 
Children with their fishing nets were laughing 
        F                  G     F   G   F 
As they took their catches home 
  
  
Chorus: 
     Em         Dm    C     F 
Caterpillars in paper bags 
           Em Dm          C    F 
Knees tied up  with dirty rags 
                                 G F G  
That was you and I, when we were young 
  
  
Instrumental: Am  Fmaj7  Cmaj7  Fmaj7  G  E  Am  Am/G  Fmaj7  G  E  
  
  
        (## NOTE: Key Change ##) 
  
A                    Bm          
Brushing through the fallen leaves  
  Dbm           D 
Together in the autumn 
        A Bm             Dbm    D 
You and I,  when we were young 
A                Bm 
Planning for the future 
        Dbm             D              E   D  E   D 
Without knowing what it held for us at all 
  
  
Chorus: 
              Dbm  Bm      A       D 
The road to nowhere  never climbs 
             Dbm    Bm        A     D 
We changed direction  a dozen times 
                                 E      Dm  E 
That was you and I, when we were young
