Verse
 C 
I Could see he was wise man 
                          Am 
But the years were in his eyes 
 F               C 
Though who had achieved in life 
 D                  G 
Time has passed him by 
   F                 C 
He said I’ve run my race here 
                  Am 
Life teaches everyone 
            C               F 
But there’s one thing I’ve learned a little late 
        G       G7        C 
And I'd like to tell you son

And forget about the bad 
 
Verse 2
C 
We get troubled we get bothered 
                         Am 
Of times gone and yet to be 
    F                 C 
The pleasures of the present time 
 D                        G 
Sometimes we don’t always see 
  F 
Before you know they’ve come and gone 
      C                Am 
And a memory’s all you have 
 C                    F 
Precious times should be enjoyed 
      G                 C 
Don’t let them pass you by
