[Intro]

      


[Verse 1]

         
When I was you

       
ng, younger th

an before
         
I never saw th

              
e truth hangin

 
g from the doo

r
           
And now I'm ol

 
der see it fac

e to face
           
And now I'm ol

         
der gotta get 

       
up clean the p

lace
     


[Verse 2]

And I was green, greener than the hill
Where flowers grow and the sun shone still
Now I'm darker than the deepest sea
Just hand me down, give me place to be


[Verse 3]

And I was strong, strong in the sun
I thought I'd see when day was done
Now I'm weaker than the palest blue
Oh so weak in this need for you

NOTE: While playing D, constantly hammer on and off the second fret note
of the G string.  With Em/F#, the second fret note of the lowest D string
is hammered on, then the second fret note of the A string is often
hammered on too.  There is much more going on in this song, particularly
the solo, but I figured something is better than nothing.  Maybe I'll get
back and do a more detailed version one of these days- anyone else who
wants to try is very welcome to.
