               C           G7                C  F
The old man's sitting there, his head bowed down
       E7                 Am                D7  
Every now and then he'll take a look around
         G                E7             Am7
And his eyes reflect the memory-pain of years gone by
    A       Dm      G       C           Esus4 E    C
He can't regain nostalgic dreams he'll never see again

With trembling hands, he wipes a tear
Many fall like rain, there's one for every year
And his life laid out so clearly now, life that's brought death
So nearly now life once he clung to dearly now lets go

F            Em                      F
But spare a thought as you pass him by
         Dm    A#                F
Take a closer look and you'll say
           Em        F             Dm      A#       G
He's our tomorrow, just as much as we are his yesterday

           C   G             C F
A lonely grave, and soon forgot
      E7              Am                  D  
Only wind and leaves lament his mournful song
           G           E7
Yet they shout his epitaph out clear
    Am            A       Dm
For anyone who's passing near
    G         C     Esus4  E       C Cm7
It names the person lying here as you
    Gm        C Cm7    Gm
And you, and you, and you...
