     Em                            
	When the autumn leaves were fallen 
                 D 
	And the winter winds were callin' 
                 Am                                  B  
	And the southbound geese were chasin' summertime 
               Em 
	I was hungry then,and slender 
            D 
	As well as i remember 
                  Am                               B 
	Fighting for a place in life i could call mine

                     Am                              B  
	And learned to travel on the heels of summertime 
                Em  
	Like a souped up 50 Ford 
                  D 
	Down the road of life i roared

	To the shimmerin' Paris lights and the warm Australian nights 
                Em 
	In the honky-tonks and bars 
                 D   
	And the back seats of the cars 
           Am                             B    
	I learned my lessons well and i proudly wore my scars

	While struggling for a way to right the wrong 
             Em  
	The Savior Jesus-Christ  
         D  
	Came into my life 
            Am                           B  
	The old man passed away and the young man lives today
