C Am Dm G7 I could fly like a bird on the wings of the wind C Am Dm G7 I played in the sun with a joy deep within C C7 F Fm I had laughter as a toy and a sweet for my tooth C G7 A# C In the beautiful days of my youth C Am Dm G7 Everyone that I felt was a friend not a foe C Am Dm G7 The fears I have learned way back then I didn’t know C C7 F Fm Not one deed meant unkind no one thought I could C G7 A# C In the beautiful days of my youth Am F Am Now the time quickly pass and the years traveled on Dm G7 All my hopes and dreams have diminished and gone C Am Dm G7 Now the child that I face how familiar she seems C Am Dm G7 She’s wearing my eyes and living my dreams C C7 F Fm Oh my innocent child I will spread you my truth C G7 A# C In the beautiful days of my youth
Some words are wrong. Should be
…”USED TO FLY LIKE A BIRD……” “EVERYONE THAT I MET WAS A FRIEND NOT A FOE” “NOT ONE ACT MEANT UNKIND OR ONE THOUGHT UNCOUTH” “TIME QUICKLY PASSED, THE YEARS TRAVELED ON” “OH MY INNOCENT CHILD I WILL SPARE THE UNTRUTH….. OF THE BEAUTIFUL DAYS OF MY YOUTH”
(ending of the song is:) “RUN CHILD RUN….. LAUGH CHILD LAUGH….. SEE THE SUN…. SEE THE SUN…… SEE THE SUN”
