[Intro]
D  Em/F#  D  Em/F#

[Verse 1]
Em/F#                D               
When I was young, younger than before
Em/F#                        D             
I never saw the truth hanging from the door
F#m            Em/F#                 
And now I'm older see it face to face
F#m               Em/F#            D          
And now I'm older gotta get up clean the place
D Em/F#  D  Em/F#

[Verse 2]
And I was green, greener than the hill
Where flowers grow and the sun shone still
Now I'm darker than the deepest sea
Just hand me down, give me place to be

[Verse 3]
And I was strong, strong in the sun
I thought I'd see when day was done
Now I'm weaker than the palest blue
Oh so weak in this need for you

NOTE: While playing D, constantly hammer on and off the second fret note
of the G string.  With Em/F#, the second fret note of the lowest D string
is hammered on, then the second fret note of the A string is often
hammered on too.  There is much more going on in this song, particularly
the solo, but I figured something is better than nothing.  Maybe I'll get
back and do a more detailed version one of these days- anyone else who
wants to try is very welcome to.
