I had [F] walked [C] down a road, a [F] road [C] full of memories, on a journey back to visit [G] childhood friends.
[C] And I [F] stopped [C] at a gate, that [F] led [C] into a schoolyard, long [F] forgotten [C] feelings [G] come to [C] me again.
The [F] silence [C] that stares from the [F] dirty [C] dusty windows, broken [F] only [C] by the babble [G] of the stream. _
[C] And I [F] feel as [C] though I'm watched by a [F] thousand [C] different faces, as I [F] [C] recollect a [G] thousand [C] different names. _
Now the old schoolyard is [F] wide and [C]
overgrown, all the [F] fences [C] I had crossed are [G] broken down. _
[C] And I've [F] learned [C] many things, some of them best forgotten, since the [F] last time [C] that I [G] stood [C] upon that ground. _

[D] I close [G] [D] my eyes, can't [G] hold [D] back the memories, childhood [G] [D] voices call out [A] to me. _
[D] From [G] deep [D] inside I see [G] one [D] of the faces, looking at [G] the man [D] that he [A] turned [D] out to be. _
Now the [G] old [D] schoolyard is wide [G] and [D] overgrown, all the fences [G] I [D] had crossed are broken [A] down.
And [D] I've learned many things, some of [G] them best forgotten, [D] since the last [G] time that [D] I stood [A] upon [D] that ground. _

Oh [G] the old [D] _ schoolyard. _ _ _
