When You And I Were Young, Maggie
George W. Johnson and James Austin Butter field
G |
C |
I wander'd today to the |
hill, Maggie, |
|
G |
D7 |
To |
watch the scene |
below; |
|
G |
G7 |
A# |
The |
creek and the old |
rusty |
mill, Maggie, |
|
G |
D7 |
G |
Where we |
sat in the |
long, long |
ago. |
|
C |
G |
The |
green grove is gone from the |
hill, Maggie, |
|
D |
A7 |
D |
Where |
first the |
daisies |
sprung; |
|
G |
G7 |
C |
The |
creaking old mill |
is |
still, Maggie, |
|
G |
D7 |
G |
Since |
you and |
I were |
young. |
Chorus:
|
C |
G |
And |
now we are aged and |
gray, Maggie, |
|
D |
A7 |
D |
And the |
trials of |
life nearly |
done; |
|
G |
G7 |
C |
But to |
me you're as fair |
as you |
were, Maggie, |
|
G |
D7 |
G |
When |
you and |
I were |
young. |
A city so silent and lone, Maggie,
Where the young and the gay and the best,
In polished white mansions of stone, Maggie,
Have each found a place of rest,
Is built where the birds used to play, Maggie,
And join in the songs that were sung;
For we sang as gay as they, Maggie,
When you and I were young.
