D G

who came this way. Now they're gone.
A D

A Bm7
And when I'm down and I'm growin' old, it won't be long or I won't try
Em A

D Bm7 G E

E F#m G A D
And my stride in rhythm to the beat of home sweet home.

You get the idea. Work with it and see what you can come up with. I'm not
so sure about the F#m, but it sounds OK to me. There is cool AKUS website

Alison - request her songs so that she gets some airtime on the radio!
