View chords used in this chart
Tune 1/2 step down.
( G Em7 C9 ) x2
And you said
We would be golden
When we grow old
And you said
We'd never be broken
When we grow old
( Am C G ) x2
But if a river can dry to dust
I guess the angels we learn to trust
Can fly away
And like a mountain can lose its peak
I now know the heart can change its needs
Quietly
( G Em7 C9 ) x2
And you said
We'd never be parted
When we grow old
And you said
I'll see you in heaven
When we grow old
( Am C G ) x2
But if a river can dry to dust
I guess the angels we learn to trust
Can fly away
And like a mountain can lose its peak
I now know the heart can change its needs
Quietly
( G D/F# Am C ) x2
So goodbye come tomorrow
Goodbye come tomorrow
Goodbye goodbye
Yeah goodbye come tomorrow
Goodbye come tomorrow
Goodbye goodbye
( G Em7 C9 )
You said we would be golden
When we grow old
