1st Verse: (2 Guitars)
A Dm
We passed upon the stair, we spoke of was and when
A F
Although I wasn't there, he said I was his friend
C A
Which came as some surprise I spoke into his eyes
Dm
I thought you died alone, a long long time ago

A Dm
I laughed and shook his hand, and made my way back home
A F
I searched for form and land, for years and years I roamed
C A
I gazed a gazely stare at all the millions here
Dm
We must have died alone, a long, long time ago
