VERSE:
 C       G         F       COld man time is a rare old man
       Am              C      GFor a young man he'll ever remain
          F          C             Am          GWith his long grey beard and his clothes are plain
    F       G           COh Old Man Time is his name.

    Am         GAs one flower dies
     F          AmThe old man he cries
      C                             GThe young man he plants the seeds again
        Am      F        C         GWith a careful hand, he tends the sand,
     F       G           C     (play INTRO 2x's)Oh, Old Man Time is his name.


VERSE:
 C       G           F    CThis old man has an hourglass
     Am    C           GFor every soul on the land.
     F       C       Am        GOh, Old Man Time, I have seen mine,
          F            G       CIt's the one with the fastest sand.

     Am           GNo sooner is it turned,
       F                      AmBack through the glass it's churned,
     C                                GI'm wishing i could have each hour again,
         Am     F        C         GWith a careful hand, he tends the sand,
     F       G           COh, Old Man Time is his name.

     Am      C               GDid God not give you all my sand?

      Am              G          F               AmThey tell me time is gold, well maybe it's been sold,
   C                             GOr was it simply washed away in rain?

     F       G           COh, Old Man Time is his name.

       Am           GIf I brought him a sack,
        F                   AmDo you think he'd put some back?
   C                                 GI know one day across my path he'll come,
    Am     F       C         GBut as for now, I can't say how,
