Intro  (Carole King Piano)
A5 A5 A5 A5 A5 D5 D5 D5  A5 A5 A5 A5 A5 E5 E5 E5 E5
A5                           E5
Whispering wind came, uninvited
F#5                     C#5
Looking for somewhere else to go
   D5                       A5 
Here is a lamp I've left unlighted
B5             E5           E5
Aren't you someone I should know
A5                       D5
Memory's flame is soon ignited
A5                       D5     A5
Lighting my lamp with amber glow
B5                     A5
Quietly, friends are reunited
B5         E5         A5
Singing a song of long ago, 
F#5  C#5   B5  E5  A5  E5 F#5  A5 B5  E5 A5
la, la, la la la la la la la etc

Bridge
A5             A5
Cry, cry for someone 
A5                A5
Who just can't be happy
     F#5   A5      D5  A5   B5   E5  E5
And be glad you can feel enough to cry
Verse 2  
A5                         E5
Younger than always, time descended
F#5                          C#5
Bringing me brand new seeds to sow
D5                          A5 
Now that they've been a long time planted
B5              E5            E5
What must I do to help them grow
A5                    D5
If it had been as I intended
A5 11                     D5       A5
I wouldn't have the peace I know
B5                       A5
Loving the people I've befriended
B5                 E5     A5
And singing a song of long ago, 
F#5  C#5   B5  E5  A5  E5 F#5  A5 B5  E5 A5
la, la, la la la la la la la etc
 D5                 A5
As it began, so I will end it
B5                E5  E5
Singing a song of long ago
D5                        A5
Loving the people I've befriended
B5                  E5     E5         A5
And singing a song of long, long, long ago
Outro  (James Taylor Acoustic)
