Introduction: E F#m A B6
E F#m
And I will stroll the merry way
A B6
And jump the hedges first
E F#m
And I will drink the clear
A B6
Clean water for to quench my thirst
E F#m
And I shall watch the ferry-boats
A B6
And they'll get high
E F#m
On a bluer ocean
A B6
Against tomorrow's sky
E F#m A B6
And I will never (...ever) grow so old again
E F#m
And I will walk and talk
A B6
In gardens all wet with rain
E A
Oh sweet thing, sweet thing
E A E
My, my, my, my, my sweet thing
E F#m
And I shall drive my chariot
A B6
Down your streets and cry
E F#m
'Hey, it's me, I'm dynamite
A B6
And I don't know why'
E F#m
And you shall take me strongly
A B6
In your arms again
E F#m
And I will not remember
A B6
That I even felt the pain.
E F#m
And I will never, never, never
A B6
Grow so old again.
E F#m
We shall walk and talk
A B6
In gardens all misty and wet with rain
E A
Oh sweet thing, sweet thing
E A
My, my, my, my, my sweet thing
E F#m
And I will raise my hand up
A B6
Into the night time sky
E F#m
And count the stars
A B6
That's shining in your eye
E F#m
Just to dig it all an' not to wonder
A B6
That's just fine
E F#m
And I'll be satisfied
A B6
Not to read in between the lines
E F#m
And I will never, ever, ever, ever
A B6
Grow so old again.
E F#m
And I will walk and talk
A B6
In gardens all wet with rain
E A
Oh sweet thing, sweet thing
E A
Sugar-baby with your champagne eyes
E A
And your saint-like smile....
