Thread Name: Chords Req: A Year to Go By (Phil Ochs)
Subject: RE: Chord Req: phil ochs- a year to go by
As a start, here are the lyrics. From Phil Ochs Homepage most songs have the chords posted as well, but not this one--I've never heard it, and don't have a recording of it---if the melody is a traditional or borrowed melody, let me know and I'll figure them out--
A Year to Go By
By Phil Ochs
Here I am 10 years have I Watch me run, watch me play, watch me cry Time has no time The world is mine And it takes 10 years for a year to go by
Here I am Now 21 Learned all I need for a life that's just begun I know the rules Old men are fools And it takes 7 years For a year to be done
Here I am Past 42 All that I know now if only then I knew Tricked by time Now I find That it takes just a year for a year to be through
Here I am As old as old All sayings have been said All stories have been told Taught by time The greatest crime is to Live less than a year when a year has unrolled Less than a year when a year has unrolled
