G                            D
And so you have come back to me
                               G
And say the old loves growing yet
G                              C      G
You've tried through all these weary years
       D                   G
You've tried too vainly to forget
                         D
Oh no I cannot take your hand
                            G
God never gives us back our youth
                     C        G
The loving heart you slighted then
    D                          G
Was yours my friend in perfect truth

SOLO

G                              D
Come close and let me see your face
                               G
Your raven hair is tinged with snow
                 C          G
Oh yes it is the same dear face
  D                   G
I loved so many years ago
                         D
Oh no I cannot take your hand
                            G
God never gives us back our youth
                     C         G
The loving heart you slighted then
    D                          G
Was yours my friend in perfect truth

SOLO

G                       D
Farewell I think I love yet
                                  G 
As friend to friend God bless you dear
                            C      G
And guide you through these weary years
                       D       G
To where the skies are always clear
                         D
Oh no I cannot take your hand
                            G
God never gives us back our youth
                     C         G
The loving heart you slighted then
    D                          G
Was yours my friend in perfect truth

SOLO

G                         D
Oh no I cannot take your hand
                            G
God never gives us back our youth
                     C         G
The loving heart you slighted then
    D                          G
Was yours my friend in perfect truth
