This is how I play it - I'm pretty sure the song's capo 9, but it's a bit tight for me.
I play it Capo on 4th fret, this sounds pretty good to me. Pretty sure it's in E as well.



C C
Joshua was an old man, his beard like mountain snow
F C
And when I was a boy we'd have jam sessions
C C
I'd sneak off to old Sharptop, with my guitar I would go
F C
When I should have been at school, learnin' my lessons

G
And he'd sip a little moonshine
F
And I'd smoke a corncob pipe
G F
And we'd pick all day until our fingers bled
G
And right around supper time
F
I'd run home in the night
G F G
Just in time to get a whoppin' from my Dad


C C
My friend Joshua tells me that picking wont pay the rent
F C
Well I set out to prove him wrong in time
C C
I dont guess I can recall all the hours that I spent
F C
Just beating on that old flat top of mine
G
Me and my friend Joshua lord
F
We must have played them all
G F
And I got to where I could put the old man to shame
G F
I don't guess it ever seemed to bother Josh at all
G F G
We still loved to pick 'em just the same

C G F
Oh, way back when
C G F
He was 65 and I was 10
C G F
And I will never be as free again
C G F
Oh, way back when

C C
The summer flew by quickly and Josh and I spent our time
F C
Writing words to songs from memories of his past
C C
He'd tell me bout the way it was and I'd find the perfect rhyme
F C
And I couldn't believe how we wrote our songs so fast
G F
I never knew an old man could be so full of life
G F
The love we had was so hard to explain
G F
And I remember how the tears fell when he spoke of his late wife
G F
And I'd give him my 6-string to ease his pain

C G F
Oh, way back when
C G F
He was 65 and I was 10
C G F
And I will never be as free again
C G F
Oh, way back when


Instrumental Bridge (Solo): D, F, C, G, D, F, C, G


And then in late November
F G F
I knocked on his cabin door, I knocked and knocked but Joshua never came
G F
And I still remember, how he layed there on the floor
G F
And I went home a-cryin' in the rain

C G F
Oh, way back when
C G F
He was 65 and I was 10
C G F
And I will never be as free again
C G F
Oh, way back when
C G F
Oh, way back when
C G F
Oh, way back when
