Old-Fashioned People

Chris De Burgh


Tom: Am

Esus          Am                      Em
Old-fashioned people, they never know why
    Dm 
The world is changing day to day
   G                 E7                     Am
It moves so fast and leaves them in another time
 
 
   Esus          Am                 Em
An old-fashioned dancer is dancing alone
Dm
Dreaming of those music halls
    G             E7                      Am
And with his lady waltzing away until the dawn
 
 
BRIDGE:
      F               G   Am
And I thought I heard him say
             F       G       Am
Please don't take my dreams away...
 
 
CHORUS:
              Dm7   G
They carry me back again
             C     Am
Show me that life again
Esus     Dm          E7            Am
Carry me back to the places that I knew
         Dm7   G
Carry me back again
             C     Am
Show me that life again
Esus     Dm          E7            Am
Carry me back to the places that I knew
 
 
Esus          Am                       Em
Old-fashioned lovers, they walk in the park
  Dm
Beside the river hand in hand
    G              E7                 Am
And hurry home for tea before it gets dark
 
 
BRIDGE:
         F       G      Am
Could be you and me one day
          F         G       Am
Time will come when we will say...
 
 
CHORUS:
         Dm7   G
Carry me back again
             C     Am
Show me that life again
Esus     Dm          E7            Am
Carry me back to the places that I knew
         Dm7   G
Carry me back again
             C     Am
Show me that life again
Esus     Dm          E7            Am
Carry me back to the places that I knew
         Dm7   G
Carry me back again
             C     Am
Show me that life again
Esus     Dm          E7     E      F  G  Am
Carry me back to the places that I knew____
