White Tony Joe - For Ol` Times Sake

^ABefore you go and walk ^A/G#out on me ^Gtake a look ar^Aound and tell me ^Dwhat you see ^AHere I stand like an ^A/G#open book ^Gis there something ^Ahere you might have ^Doverlooked 'Cause it would be a ^Eshame if you ^Aleave and find that ^Dfreedom ain't what ^Eyou thought it would ^Abe

^AThe years we had were ^A/G#not all bad ^Gin fact I know the ^Agood outweighed the ^Dbad But ^Anow you say that ^A/G#you've grown tired and you ^Gwant to be ^Aby yourself a ^Dwhile But it would be a ^Eshame if you ^Ago and find that ^Dfreedom was a ^Elong time ^Aago

I ^Dknow that you can't ^Estand for chains to ^Abind you if ^Dthey just ^Ekeep on ^Adriving us apart and ^Dyou could go where ^EI would never ^Afind you but could ^Eyou go far en^F#mough to ^Dget away from your ^Eheart

So ^Aone more time for ^A/G#old times sake ^Gcome and lay your ^Ahead upon my ^Dchest ^Aplease don't throw this ^A/G#moment away ^Gwe can forget the ^Abad and take the ^Dbest but if you don't have ^Enothing left to ^Asay let me ^Dhold you one more ^Etime for old times ^Asake and ^Dif you don't have ^Enothing left to ^Asay let me ^Dhold you one more ^Etime for old times ^Asake
