Old and Wise

												
orig. in C
I know that F#m5 is an oxymoron, since a power chord has no 3rd - but I
prefer to state it so, because people may choose to play a standard F#m.
Of course it is not simple to simulate piano chords on a guitar... I hope
my transcription is not way off.

And oh, when I'm old and wise
Beavy words that tossed and blew me
Like autumn winds will blow right through me
And someday in the mist of time
When they ask you if you knew me
Remember that you were a friend of mine
As the final curtain falls before my eyes
Oh when I'm old and wise
