G D
Well I know that I said that so long ago
G C
I would not say it now
G D
But I didn't know what I said would stick like glue
Em C G
What
I said in the days gone by
[Verse]
G D
Well they tried, tried to stitch me up
G C
So many words, words I said so long ago
G D
Well, we were oh so young and foolish then
Em C G
Hopefully we can make mistakes and then we grow
[Chorus]
G D
For the days of Auld Lang Syne, my love
G C
For the days of Auld Lang Syne
G D
I wanna drink, I wanna drink a cup of kindness with you
Em C G
For the sake, for the sake of the days gone by
[Verse]
G D
And hopefully, we will keep on growing and growing
G C
Baby, baby, baby, baby, 'til we reach the sky
G D
If I ever reach, my love I haven't reached
Em C G
I'm gonna surely have to try, have to try

G D
I feel so sorry, I feel so sorry for the ones who lead
G C
For to lead, they wanna lead such a perfect life
G D
Sweep under everything, sweep everything underneath the rug
Em C G
And they're never free from conflict, from conflict and strife
[Verse]
G D
Because they perpetuate, perpetuate some kinda lie, my love
G C
Perpetuate, perpetuate the lie
G D
But everything I'm doin', everything I had to fight for it
Em C G
Had to fight for it in the days gone by

Everything you got in your life, right up 'til now

Well, I go walking, walking up that hillside now
G C
Where the heather, heather's growing so wild
G D
And I'm going to carry my child on my shoulders 'cross the river

For the days, for the days gone by, my dear

For the days, for the days gone by
