  Put it down to yesterday
  
  
         C        D/F#   Em
  Come redemption my old friend 
  D/F#     C                 D/F#
  When the seeds of life are sowed

  Of that sweet redemption road
  
  
  (Break) G Bm Am D/F# Am G D7/F# G

  Days of snow and days of rain
        D7/F#           G
  And redemption in the end
  
  
         C        D/F#   Em
  Come redemption my old friend

  Only time and time alone
  D/F#        C              D/F#
  Treats each weary soul the same

  When my sum of days has flown
        D/F#              G
  Time alone will know my name
          G               C
  When my sum of days has flown
        D/F#              G
  Time alone will know my name
  
  
  (Outro) G C D7/F# G

Based on a concert performance of Tom Paxton which can be found on YouTube. Truly a beautiful song.

The song (with lyrics) was first recorded by Anne Hills in 2012.
