Chords for The McCalmans - So The Years Rolled On

[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ The only [Em] real model [C] of song written, and it's not sentimental, _ _ but [G] it's 1964, _ we met, Architecture
College, [A] Hamish hasn't heard this song.
And [E] _ a week later we went to the Waverley Bar, [G] which was the folk pub, just [E] changed their wine. _
For the better.
[C] _ _ [G] And certainly for the better [F#] of architecture.
_ _ [G] _ I think that word [A#] crap comes [G] in again, we've got crap architecture, it's dedicated to me. _
[E] _ _ _ [B] _ [C] One _ _ [F] drink before I go, [C] walk on stage [F] for the final show, [C] and thinkin' back [F] I just don't
know, [C] did it change [G] anyone but me?
_ _ Three hundred gigs [D] or more [C] each year, the [G] sixties floated [C] by in beer, no [G] money, no beer,
the [D] game had [C] just begun.
_ [Am] Seventies [D] stole the innocence, no [G] control but we had the [C] sense, to know our [G] worth and
keep the friends we'd met [C] along the way. _ _
One [F] drink before I [C] go, walk on [F] stage for the final [C] show, and thinkin' [F] back I just
don't [C] know, did it change [G] anyone but me?
[C] One drink, [F] we went [C] along to the Waverley Bar, we signed a song, in three minutes [F] it [C] was
done, and so [G] the years rolled on.
_ The 1980s staggering [C] along, another [D] face, a different [C] song.
Well half [G] the years gone, but we had [Am] far to go.
The nineties [G] nice, the singers [D] curse, tuned so [G] fast that they feared the [C] worst, and [D] every
[Em] kid played better than [G] us, but still we [C] did okay.
_ _ One [Am] drink before I go, walk on [F] stage for the final [C] show, and thinkin' [F] back I [Am] just don't
know, did it change [G] anyone but me?
[C] One [Dm] drink, we went [C] along to the Waverley Bar, we signed a song, in three [F] minutes it was
[C] done, and [G] so the years rolled on.
The millennium came, we [C] missed the sign, could [G] battle once before [C] it's time, down [G] there the
years went by, but we [D] survived [C] again.
[Am] Round the world [G] in an old [D] rave band, I recall [G] how it all [C] began.
For better or worse [G] I'm the man I am, I'd do [C] it all again.
[Am] Six thousand gigs, [G] just one more, [D] exit left [G] through the old [C] stage door, the voice [G] is gone
and the back is sore, I'd do it [C] all again.
One [Am] drink before I go, walk on stage [F] for the final show, [C] and thinkin' back [F] I just don't
know, [C] did it change anyone [G] but [C] me?
One drink, we went along to the Waverley Bar, [F] we signed a song, [C] in three minutes [F] it was
done, [D] and so [G] the years rolled on.
_ [C] One drink [F] before I go, [C] walk on stage [F] for the final show, [C] one drink [F] before I go, [C] walk on
stage [F] for the final show, [C] one drink [F] before I go, [C] walk [F] on stage for the final show, [C] one
drink [F] before I go, [C] walk on stage [F] for the final show.
[C] So [F] the years rolled on, [C] so the years [F] rolled on, [C] so [F] the years rolled on, [C] so the years [F] rolled
on, [C] and on.
