Am G
as one flower dies
F Am
the old man he cries

the young man he plants the seeds again
Am F C G
with a careful hand , he tends the sand ,
F G C ( play intro 2x’s )
oh , old man time is his name .
verse :
C G F C
this old man has an hourglass
Am C G
for every soul on the land .

oh , old man time , i have seen mine ,
F G C
it’s the one with the fastest sand .
Am G
no sooner is it turned ,
F Am
back through the glass it’s churned ,

i’m wishing i could have each hour again ,

to me , old man , your time is rare ,

Am G F Am
they tell me time is gold , well maybe it’s been sold ,
C G
or was it simply washed away in rain?
Am F C G
with a careful hand , he tends the sand ,
F G C
oh , old man time is his name .
Am G
if i brought him a sack ,
F Am
do you think he’d put some back?
C G
i know one day across my path he’ll come ,
