Intro: F7M C7M F7M C7M

 F7M C7M    Famj7 C7M    Dm7          G7              C       Am
 Old   Friends. Old   Friends. Sat on their park bench like bookends.
  Dm7                         G                  Am
A newspaper blown through the grass falls on the round toes of the
C              F   C6
high shoes of the Old Friends.

 F7M C7M    Dm7        G7         F7M Em7  Dm7
 Old   Friends. Winter companions the old   men. Lost in their
G7        C               Am          Dm7           G7    Em7
overcoats waiting for the sunset. The sounds of the city, sifting
        Am                 G           F               C6
through trees, settle like dust on the shoulder of the Old Friends.

 Dm7       G7       C7M             F         Fm         C
 Can you imagine us years from today, sharing a park bench quietly?
    Dm7                    Am
How terribly strange to be seventy.

 F7M C7M    Dm7    G7          F7M Em7    Dm7      G7
 Old   Friends. Memory brushes the same  years. Silently sharing the
C6   Am
same fears.
