[Intro]
Am
[Verse]
Am
They sit and wait
Dm                      E
Waiting for the light to fade away
Am
Perhaps to rise another day to sit and wait
Dm                             F                             G
Another month, another year and still be here
C                                                         E
The same old place, the same old chair
F
Every day is much the same
E
It only changes name
Am
They sit and wait

[Instrumental]
Am F E Am F E

[Verse]
Am
There was a time
Dm                                         E
When hope was in their hearts and drove them on
Am
There was a time to carry on, this was their time
Dm                             F                             G
For they were young and unafraid and plans were made
C                                           E
Before the flowers came to fade
F
But those days have passed away
E
And they just look at you and say
Am
There was a time

[Instrumental]
Am F E Am F E

[Verse]
Am
Oh, how they danced
Dm                                           E
They all remember clear, how they danced
Am
They danced with ribbons in their hair, and how they sang
Dm                             F                                           G
When wedding bells were rung and sung again
C                                           E
For they were busy being young
F
When they close their eyes it seems
E
They’re still dancing in their dreams
Am
And how they danced
F    E                 Am
How they danced
