[G]
[Am] [F] [G]
[C] Oh, the neon lights were flashing [F] and the icy [C] winds did blow.
Water [E] seeped into his [F] shoes and the drizzle [C] turned to snow.
[F] His eyes were [C] red, his hopes were [Am] dead, and the wine was [E] running low.
[F] And the old man [G] came home from [C] the forest.
His tears fell on the sidewalk [F] as he stumbled [C] in the street.
A dozen [E] faces stopped to stare, [F] but no one [C] stopped to speak.
[F] For his castle [C] was a hallway [Am] and the bottle his [E] only friend.

His ragged [E] coat around him [F] as upon his [C] cot he lay.
[F] And he wondered [C] how it happened [Am] that it all turned [E] out this way.
[G] Getting lost like a fool in [C] the forest.
And as he lay there sleeping [F] a vision [C] did appear.
Upon his [A] mantle shined [F] the face of one [C] so dear.
[F] Who loved him in [C] the springtime [Am] of a long [E] forgotten year.
[F] When the [G] wildflowers did bloom [C] in the forest.
[G] [Am] [A]
[F] [G] [C]
Oh, she touched his grizzled fingers and [F] she called him [C] by his name.
Then he [Am] heard the joyful [F] sound of children at [C] their games.
[F] In an old house [C] on a hillside [Am] in some forgotten [E] town.
Where the river [G] runs down from [C] the forest.
Where the mighty roared and big jets [F] soar above the canyon [C] streets.
Con in con [Am] but life goes [F] on before the city [C] sleeps.
[F] For an old forgotten [C] soldier [Am] the dawn will come [E] no more.
[F] For the old man has [G] come home from [C] the forest.
