Tom: A
A A7 B E E7 C#m B E B
[Verse 1]
E E7 B
In the year of the yellow cab, shadow of the great world war
E E7 A B
The third kid grandma had, came into this world
E B G#m A
On a rolling farm in Maryland when Wilson was the president
F#m A B
As summer blew her goodbye through the trees
E E7 A B
A child of changing times, growing up between the wars
E E7 C#m B
Fords rolled off the lines, And bars all closed their doors
A B G#m A
I imagine to you back then with snap brim hat and farmer's tan
A7 B B B B
when horses drew their wagons through the fields
[Chorus]
A B G#m A
Now the fields are off four lanes, and the moons' not just a name
F#m A C#m E
are you more amazed at how things change, or how they stay the same?
E7 B G#m A
And Do you sit here on this porch and wonder, how the time flies by
F#m G#m A
or does it seem to barely creep along?
F#m A E
with seventy five Septembers come and gone
[Interlude]
E E7 C#m B E A B E
[Verse 2]
E E7
Were the fields all gold and fawn
B B
Was the spring house dark and cool
E E7
Did the rooster crow at dawn
A B
When they got you up for school
E B
And would you tell me once again
G#m A
The tales of granddad's hired men
F#m A B B B B
And how they drove the old dirt road to town
[Chorus]
A B G#m A
Cause now the fields are off four lanes, and the moons' not just a name
F#m A C#m E
are you more amazed at how things change, or how they stay the same?
E7 B G#m A
And Do you sit here on this porch and wonder, how the time flies by
F#m G#m A
or does it seem to barely creep along?
F#m A E
with seventy five Septembers come and gone
E E7 B
In the year of the yellow cab
B A
Shadow of the great world war
