When I was young I'd go down by the river
F#m B E E7
Just about a mile from my home a million miles from everyone
A B E D C#7
My eyes could see older as my ears could hear your song
F#m B F#m B
Oh to be wild again get back to your lazy waters
F#m B E
Never needed anyone but you
E F#m B
Oh little boys are strange no one knows they have magic
F#m B E E7
I kept it in my pocket concealed from everyone
A B E D C#7
But I climbed the highest tree to sing a bird my song
F#m B F#m B
Oh to be wise again get back to your lazy waters
F#m B E
Never needed anyone but you
E F#m B F#m B
We moved to the city I said I wouldn't mind thought you'd stay inside
me
E E7
It's easy when your young
A B E D C#7
But as we rode away I knew you were gone
F#m B F#m B
Oh to be wise again get back to your lazy waters
F#m B E
Never needed anyone but you
