   Old friends old friends 
    Emi7         A7              D  Hmi 
   sat on their park bench like bookends. 
      Emi7                         A 
   a newspaper blown through the grass 
                 Hmi 
   falls on the round toes 
           Dmaj7            G     D6   Gmaj7 Dmaj7 
   on the high shoes of the old friends 
   Gmaj7 Dmaj7 Emi7       A7 
   old friends winter companions 
       Gmaj7 F#mi7 Emi7         A7 
   the old  men   lost in their overcoats 
    D       Emi7    Hmi 
   waiting for the sunset 
        Emi7          A7   F#mi7            Hmi 
   the sounds of the city sifting through trees 
                A            G              D6 
   settle like dust on the shoulders of the old friends 
    Emi7     A7       Dmaj7 
   can you imagine us years from today 
     G        Gmi        D 
   sharing a park bench quietly 
        Emi7       A7          Hmi 
   how terribly strange to be seventy 
   Gmaj7 Dmaj7  Emi7    A7         Gmaj7 F#mi7 
   old friends memory brushes the same   years 
    Emi7      A7         D6   Hmi Gmaj7 Dmaj7 Gmaj7 Dmaj7 
   silently sharing the same fears ...
