[Intro]

D D Em/F# Em/F# D D Em/F# Em/F#


[Verse 1]

Em/F# Em/F# D D
When I was young, younger than before
Em/F# Em/F# D D
I never saw the truth hanging from the door
F#m7/F#m F#m7/F#m Em/F# Em/F#
And now I'm older see it face to face
F#m7/F#m F#m7/F#m Em/F# Em/F# D D
And now I'm older gotta get up clean the place

D D Em/F# Em/F# D D Em/F# Em/F#


[Verse 2]

And I was green, greener than the hill
Where flowers grow and the sun shone still
Now I'm darker than the deepest sea
Just hand me down, give me place to be


[Verse 3]

And I was strong, strong in the sun
I thought I'd see when day was done
Now I'm weaker than the palest blue
Oh so weak in this need for you

When playing all the chords do a lot of rolls (i.e. hammers on) especially the D D chord. For example simplified version of how I play da intro:
