[Intro]
D D7 G A
D D7 G A
[Verse 1]
D D7 G A
In the year of the yellow cab, shadow of the great world war
D D7 G A
The third kid grandma had, came into this world
G A F#m G
On a rolling farm in Maryland when Wilson was the president
Em7 Em/F# G G/B A
As summer blew her goodbye through the trees
[Verse 2]
D D7 G A
A child of changing times, growing up between the wars
D D7 G A
Fords rolled off the lines, and bars all closed their doors
G A F#m G
And I imagine you back then, with snap brim hat and farmer's tan
Em7 Em/F# G G/B A
when horses drew their wagons through the fields
[Chorus]
G A F#m G
Now the fields are all four lanes, and the moon's not just a name
Em7 G Em7 Em Bm A6 D
Are you more a-mazed at how things change, or how they stay the same
G G/B F#m G
And do you sit here on this porch and wonder, how the time flies by
Em7 F#m G
or does it seem to barely creep along
Em7 G G6 D
with seventy-five Septembers come and gone
[Break]
D D7 G A
D D7 G A
[Verse 3]
D D7 G A
Were the fields all gold and fawn, was the spring house dark and cool
D D7 G A
Did the rooster crow at dawn, when they got you up for school
G A F#m G
And would you tell me once again, the tales of granddad's hired men
Em7 Em/F# G G/B A
And how they drove the old dirt road to town
[Chorus]
G A F#m G
Now the fields are all four lanes, and the moon's not just a name
Em7 G Em7 Em Bm A6 D
Are you more a-mazed at how things change, or how they stay the same
G G/B F#m G
And do you sit here on this porch and wonder, how the time flies by
Em7 F#m G
or does it seem to barely creep along
Em7 G G6 D
with seventy-five Septembers come and gone
