I asked what he was thinking but he hadn't much to say 

     G                            C 
The revelry died down now, we'd reached the break of day 

     G                                      C 
God knows it's not for glory, son, we just have to make some room

He says the mountain gives him hope these days to break the reach of night

Says to tell the young ones that he seldom sees the moon

He says the winds of change are blowin' a little warmer every day 

         G                            C 
That he fell in love with liberty, a girl we all once knew 

 Em                                 Am       G/B       C  
She comes from good people, and he said she loves him too
