Verse 2:
A C While little Dirt Cowboys, turned brown in their saddles.
G D G C DSweet chocolate biscuits. And red rosy apples in summer.

Am CmBroken young children on the wheels of the winners.
G A# C GAnd the sixty-eight summer festival wallflowers are thinning.

G Am CmThe Captain and the Kid stepping in the ring.
G A# C GFrom here on sonny, sonny sonny, it's a long and lonely climb.
