(G)On a path I (C)walked today,I(D)came upon a(G)place
(Em)where I walked so(C)many times,in(Am)another time and(D)space
(G)the
old familiar(C)gateway now,is(D)overgrown and (G)green
the (Em)once proud(C)tarmacadam drive,can(Am)just about be(D)seen
the(G)old
sheds are still (C)standing tall
though (D)looking worse for(G)wear
and the (Em)ghosts of my (C)childhood days,are(D)running(G)everywhere
CHORUS
(G)where have the (C)years all gone
how (D)fast they slipped(G)away
the (Em)tomorrows that were(C)once
endless
are(D)now my(G)yesterdays
(G)I wait here at the (C) threshold,where a (D)door once used to(G) stand
my(Em)hearts beating (C)faster now,I (Am)don`t
quiet under(D)stand
(G)as I take those(C) first few steps,that(D)take me back in(G)time
I (Em)hear the voices,I(C)hear
the noise,I(Am)hear the nursery(D)rhymes
(G)that`s where the(C)cooker was
the (D)fridge stood over (G)there
and (Em)that`s
the corner(C)where I sat,on(D)my favorite (G)chair
(CHORUS)
(G)as I walk from (C)room to room,the (D)light is growing(G)dim
(Em)I cant believe how (C)small they were,for
a (Am)family of (D)ten
they(G)did`nt seem to(C) be like that,(D)back when we were (G) young
but (Em)people change,and
we (C)soon forget,then the(Am)memories are(D)gone
(G)now I know I must be(C)dreaming
the (D)old house has tricked my(G)mind
for an (Em)old grey ferguson (C)tractor
has
(D)just pulled up(G)outside
(CHORUS x2)
(G)on a path I (C)walked today,I(D)came upon a (G)place
the(Em)ruins are there,but the(C)ones who shared
are(D)gone
without a (G)trace.
