[Chorus]
C C/B C/A G C
We've come a long, long way since the days of my grandfather's time
C C/B C/A D G
And I can't say it's all been forward
Am G F G C C/B
I don't know what I'd say to any grandson of mine
Am G F Em Am
If he was tryin' to make his own way star-ward
[Verse 1]
F G
And I hate to see him go
C G
But I'd be glad to know
F Em Am
Part of me would live to see tomorrow
F G
We thought our days were
Am G
Bought and paid for
F Em Am
Came to find that time was only borrowed
[Verse 2]
C C/B C/A G C
A man and his horse used to be worth two bucks a day
C C/B C/A D G
Now that won't even pay for the hay, and that's the horse's meal
Am G
I played in a band
F G C
I lived in an old Chevrolet van
Am
Back in the days of the automobile
[Verse 3]
F G
We lived on the land
C G
And tried to make a stand
F Em Am
Just hoped that man would learn to get by
F G
And we poisoned the earth
C G
And took her for all she was worth
F Em Am
But it was here I's born and here I'll die
[Verse 4]
F G
And you can't get away
C G
From that final Judgement Day
F Em Am
No matter how far we fly
[Chorus 2]
C C/B C/A G C
We've flown a long, long way since the days of my grandfather's time
C C/B C/A D G
And I can't say it's all been forward
Am G F G C C/B
I don't know what I'd say to any grandson of mine
Am G F Em Am
If he was tryin' to make his own way star-ward
