Intro: Em C G D Em C G D

I saw my youth today
He passed me on the street
As he walked by I stood frozen
On my dreaming feet
He had a kinder face
The kind I’ve learned to hide
Behind these cold unyielding stones
That used to be my eyes

A moment please[F#/D] my boy
Don’t you know[F#/D] my name?
Do you remember when
We used to play a hundred[F#/D] games?
And is your moth[F#/D]er well?
Kiss her once[F#/D] for me
And if she should ask you why
Why you could say
F#/D C D Em C G D (four times)
Just for no reason

Remember that old troll
Who lived inside the tree?
He was never dangerous
That’s just the way it seemed
The day you climbed that tree
And ran to show me how
The troll was never seen again
So where could he be now?

A moment please[F#/D], my boy
Don’t you kno[F#/D]w this face
And do you remember when
I used to let you win [F#/D]the races?
Please don’t run [F#/D]away
I did not me[F#/D]an to scare you
I’m the one who told you
You should never talk t[F#/D]o strangers

And is your mothe[F#/D]r well?
Kiss her once[F#/D] for me
And if she should ask you why
Why you could say
[F#/D]Just for no reason

I saw my youth today
He passed me in the street
As he walked by I stood frozen
On my dreaming feet
