It's down by the river 
    D 
The water's running low 
     C                     B7 
As I wander underneath the trees 
    Em 
And in the park outside of town 
    D                                   C 
The leaves turned brown and yellow now 
    B7             Em 
Are falling on the ground 


  G 
Remembering the way you felt 
  D                          C 
Beside me here when love was new 
     Em 
That feeling's just grown stronger 
        D                 Em 
Since I fell in love with you 


 
          C              D                   Em 
Now we've only got these times we're living in 
      C              D                  Em   C  D  Em   C  D  Em 
We've only got these times we're living in 



             
There's Winter wood piled on the porch 
D 
Walnuts scattered on the ground 
    C                        B7 
And wood smoke rising to the sky 
    Em 
An old man comes home from work 
       D                       
And he hugs his wife in a sweat-stained shirt 
C                          B7                Em 
Walks through that door to where it's warm inside 


G 
And I'm walking as the wind 
D                       C 
Rustles in the fallen leaves 
   Em 
My footsteps picking out a tune 
   D                 Em 
My heart sings silently 


 
          C              D                  Em 
How we've only got these times we're living in 
      C              D                  Em 
We've only got these times we're living in

See the roses dried and faded 
    D 
The tall trees carved and painted 
     C                      B7 
With long forgotten lovers' names 
    Em 
The old cars standing empty 
    D               
And dogs barking at me 
     C                B7                Em 
As I walk through the quiet streets the same 


G 
If I could I'd tell you now 
      D                       C 
There are no roads that do not bend 
        Em 
And the days like flowers bloom and fade 
         D            Em 
And they do not come again 



      C              D                  Em 
We've only got these times we're living in

We've only got these times we're living in
