[Verse 1]
N.C. D C# D
On the trail of time there's many sorrows
A7
And a worried mind can't be at rest
D C# D
For everything I've ever wanted
A7 D
I do not find though I done my best
[Chorus]
D5 C#5 C5 B5 Bb D
I can see the stars in the wild blue yonder
D5 C#5 C5 B5 Bb A7
And I count each one up in the sky
D C# D
I've got them named but when it comes to yours dear
A7 D
I remember things and I start to cry
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
D C#7 D
Down the trail of time the way is crooked
A7
I've left behind many pleasures too
D C#7 D
I've also left my share of sorrows
A7 D
And that is why I feel so blue
[Verse 3]
D5 C#5 C5 B5 Bb D
I re-mem-ber two blue eyes that loved me
D5 C#5 C5 B5 Bb A7
In a thousand years I couldn't forget
D C# D
I'm left alone to face the future
A7 D
Sometimes I wish we'd never met
