Old Familiar Way

Created by: dcolspector G# F# F#/C# C# C# Bb7 Neither the flowers on the hill, D#m F#m Or the moonlight on the sea, C# G(b5) F# D#m Have ever looked so blue. C# Gdim F#m6 C# And everything looks new again, F7 C# F# In that old familiar way. C# Bb7 The view from my room, D#m F#m Of the ships on the bay, C# G(b5) F# D#m Had come to bore me through and through. C# Gdim F#m6 C# But they suddenly seem new again, G#m C#7 F# In that old familiar way. F7 F# G# G#7 C# The delicate ballet of blossoms falling off a tree, A E Had long gone unnoticed by me. F7 F# C# I'm stunned by what now I finally see. D#7 It's amazing the wonders you can find, G#7 Just by stepping outside. C# G# F# F#/C# C# There's a skip in my step, a divine state of joy, In everything I do. Cause I am feeling new again, In that old familiar way. When I'm awoken from my dreams, By a cuckoo on the roof, I always join in too. (Cuckoo!) And every sound sounds new again, In that old familiar way. The life I used to know when I was busy, always on the go, Left me with nothing to show. Now I feel that I can honestly say, I'm living a suitable life. I'm glad I finally got it right.
