A song about old time playing and singing

lyrics

WHEN I WAS A YOUNGER MAN AND LIFE WAS STILL A RIDDLE
F C G Am G C
WE’D GATHER ROUND THE KITCHEN STOVE WITH GUITARS BANJOS FIDDLES

THE SNOW OUTSIDE FELL SOFT AND DEEP WE WERE SO FAR FROM THE CITY
WE;D WORK THE DAY AND THEN WE’D PLAY FAR INTO THE EVENING

CH: WE’D GET TOGETHER AND PLAY ALL NIGHT F C F C
AROUND THE CIRCLE BY THE FIRE LIGHT F C C G
WE WOULD DANCE HEEL AND TOE F C
ONE MORE TIME AROUND WE GO G Am
ONE MORE TIME HERE WE GO G C
(REPEAT CH INST)

WE’ll PLAY A SONG FOR THE NEWLY WEDS, LOOKING YOUNG AND PRETTY
AS THEY DANCE ACROSS THE FLOOR FEELING HIGH AND GIDDY

WE’LL PLAY A SONG FOR A TROUBLED WORLD AND MAKE HER SMILE A LITTLE
WE’LL STOMP OUR FEET AND CLAP OUR HANDS TO GUITARS BANJOS FIDDLES
CH:
WE’LL PLAY THEM OLD SONGS VERY SWEET FILLED WITH JOY AND SORROW
WE’LL SING OUT LOUD AND SING OUT CLEAR AND SING OUT FOR TOMMOROW

NOW I AM AN OLDER MAN AND LIFE IS STILL A RIDDLE
BUT THAT6 OKAY WHEN WE PLAY OUR GUITARS BANJOS FIDDLES

In the last few years the fire has been lit, and those songs are roaring into life. His unique style, rhythms and subject matter combine to create an exciting new and original voice in the Canadian folk music scene. ... more
