Chords: From, Beach, Full, F#, C#, G#, Fm, G#m, F#m, E
More chords by Al Stewart
Genre: folk, rock, protest
From the album "A Beach Full of Shells" (2005)
Tips to simplify for the novice player:
- Transpose one step down to C to avoid barré chords.
- To still play in the key of the recording, use capo on 1st fret.
- In both cases, ignore the instrumental break.
- Al plays slightly different outros after each chorus, but you can
reasonably use the intro for all.

[Verse 1]
C# Fm F# C#
When I get even more old than I am now
C# Fm F# G#
I'll have a house overlooking the water
C# Fm F# C#
I'll read all the books that I never got 'round to
C# Fm F# G#
Pile all my suitcases up in the corner
[Chorus 1]
G# C# G# C#
The lights of the city they blink off and on again
C# Fm F# G#
Names in my memory are there, then they're gone again

Albums of photographs spread on the floor again

I'll fill my garage up with things I've no use for
C# Fm F# G#
Obsolete knick-knacks that there's no excuse for

I'll turn my back on the world's grand illusions
C# Fm F# G#
Take my delights in the simplest amusements
[Chorus 2]
G# C# G# C#
The lights of the city they blink off and on again

Names in my memory are there, then they're gone again
G# C# F# G#
Albums of photographs spread on the floor again
C# Fm F# C#
I'll spend my evenings with Katherine of Oregon
