OLD FAMILIAR WAY - OF MONTREAL
Created by: dcolspector
G# F# F#/C# C#
C# Neither the flowers on the Bb7hill,
Or the D#mmoonlight on the F#msea,
C# G(b5) F# D#m
Have ever looked so blue.
And C#everyGdimthing looks F#m6new aC#gain,
In that F7old faC#miliar F#way.
The C#view from my Bb7room,
Of the D#mships on the F#mbay,
C# G(b5) F# D#m
Had come to bore me through and through.
But they C#suddenGdimly seem F#m6new aC#gain,
In that G#mold faC#7miliar F#way.
The F7delicate F#ballet of G#blossoms falling G#7off a C#tree,
Had Along gone unnoticed by Eme.
I'm F7stunned by what F#now I finally C#see.
It's D#7amazing the wonders you can find,
Just by G#7stepping 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.
