When the moon’s just right And it fills the night
C C/Bbass G D
Feel it softly glow
C C/Bass G C C/Bbass D
There is an opening A kind of knowing
C C/Bass G D
Memories start to flow
Chorus
C G Em D
When only a lad, and easily had By the hopeful ideals on the street
C G Em D
And all was so pure It all seemed so sure The world laid right there at your feet

C C/Bass G C CBbass D
A feeling was in the air All breathed confident
C C/Bass G D
There were no obstacles Real or dreamed

C G Em D
When only a lad, and easily had By the hopeful ideals on the street
C G Em D
And all was so pure It all seemed so sure The world laid right there at your feet
C C/Bass G C C/ Bbass D C C/Bass G D
But then a train arrived And he took another line To a distraction from his dreams
C G
And then that lad who was always so glad
Em D
Found a shell into which he would retreat
C G Em D
A place that was safe Not have to embrace Any risk that might set his mind free
Cmaj7 G Cmaj7 D Cmaj7 G D
But on some level He’d always felt a pull Back toward his seed
Chorus
C G Em D
And he’s still that lad, still easily had By the hopeful ideals on the street
C G
And though it may not be pure He can still be sure
Em D
The world lays right there at your feet

Woah oh oh oh oh oh Woah oh oh oh oh oh
