 F5 C5    Famj7 C5    D5          G5              C5       A5
 Old   Friends. Old   Friends. Sat on their park bench like bookends.
  D5                         G5                  A5
A newspaper blown through the grass falls on the round toes of the
C5              F5   C5
high shoes of the Old Friends.

 F5 C5    D5        G5         F5 E5  D5
 Old   Friends. Winter companions the old   men. Lost in their
G5        C5               A5          D5           G5    E5
overcoats waiting for the sunset. The sounds of the city, sifting
        A5                 G5           F5               C5
through trees, settle like dust on the shoulder of the Old Friends.

 D5       G5       C5             F5         F5         C5
 Can you imagine us years from today, sharing a park bench quietly?
    D5                    A5
How terribly strange to be seventy.

 F5 C5    D5    G5          F5 E5    D5      G5
 Old   Friends. Memory brushes the same  years. Silently sharing the
C5   A5
same fears.
