    C                  C9
I hung out with the old folks
         F                C
In the hope that I'd get wise
        Em7                   Am
I was trying to bridge the gap
               D7        G
Between the great divide

           C             C9
Hung on every recollection
          Fadd9           C
In the theater of their eyes
         Em7              Am
Picking up on this and that
         D7                  G
In the few that still survived

          C              F#m7  B7          Em
Call 'em up, n' dust 'em off, let them shine
      F            C/E
The ones who hold onto the the ones
       D7                G
They had to leave behind
             C                    F#m7
Those that flew and those that fell
      B7                   Em
The ones that had to stay
           F               C/E   C/G  G  C
Beneath a little wooden cross oceans away

       C                   C9
They bend like trees in winter
         F                  C
These shuffling old grey lions
         Em7                        Am
Those snow-white stars still gather
           D7           G
Like the belt around Orion

           C                  C9
Just to touch the faded lightning
             Fadd9      C
Of their powerful design
         Em7           Am
Of a generation gathering
      D7              G
For maybe the last time

          C              F#m7  B7          Em
Call 'em up, n' dust 'em off, let them shine
       F            C/E
The ones who hold onto the the ones
       D7            G
They had to leave behind
             C                   F#m7
Those that flew and those that fell
       B7              Em
The ones that had to stay
             F            C/E   C/G   G  C
Beneath a little wooden cross oceans away

  Eb
Oceans away

Where the green grass sways
          F
And the cool wind blows
                              Gm    G4   Gm  Gm/F
Across the shadow of their graves
    Eb
Shoulder to shoulder back in the day
    F                            Gm G4  Gm   Gm/F
Sleeping bones to rest in earth, oceans away
 Eb  F    G
Oceans away

          C              F#m7   B7        Em
Call 'em up, n' dust 'em off, let them shine
       F            C/E
The ones who hold onto the the ones
       D7              G
They had to leave behind
             C                  F#m7
Those that flew and those that fell
       B7               Em
The ones that had to stay
              F            C/E   C/G   G C
Beneath a little wooden cross oceans away
