G) So (C) long (D) old (G) friend, (D) it’s my time to (G) go
If (C) I (D) miss (G) you, I’ll (D) never let it (G) show
Fa(C)ding (D) sun(G)set ,your (D) shadow disap(G)pears
(C) Hand on - (G) my heart, (D) thank you for the (G) years
 
Though (C) words are never (G) spoken 
I’ll (D) be depending (G)on 
the (C) silent love of a (G) father and his (D) son.
And the (Am) gentle hand that (D) guided me,
since my (G) time on earth be(C)gan 
and (G) showed me what it (D) was to (C) be a (G) man
 
Rest(C)less, (D) bro(G)ken, (D) times of compro(G)mise
These (C) tears (D) I (G) cry, have (D) fallen from your (G) eyes.
Hold (C) on, (D) slow (G) down, is (D) what you said to (G) me
(C) In time, - (G) you’ll learn, (D) what will be will (G) be
 
Though (C) words are never (G) spoken 
I’ll (D) be depending (G)on 
the (C) silent love of a (G) father and his (D) son.
And the (a) gentle hand that (D) guided me,
since my (G) time on earth be(C)gan 
and (G) showed me what it (D) was to (C) be a (G) man
 
For the (Am) gentle hand that (D) guided me,
since my (G) time on earth be(C)gan 
I’ll (G) do the best I (D) can to (C) be a (G) man
