[Verse]
C Am
Oh the day that they found him swinging
C Am
a day they'll not soon forget
G
Four long years ago
F
It can't be over yet
C Am
His tongue was tasting the morning
C Am
His feet were ringing a bell
G
Five times on the ropes
F
And six times that he fell
[Chorus]
C F
When the young people dance
C F G
They do not dance forever
C F
It is written in sand
C G C
With the softest of feathers
Am C
It is not writ in stone
C F G
Like the walls of the chapel
Am F
And soon it is gone
C G C
Like the soft winters at home
[Verse]
C Am
Fly on your wings like an eagle
C Am
Fly like the heroes of old
G
Half your life ago
F
Your hands are turning cold
[Chorus]
C F
When the young people dance
C F G
They do not dance forever
C F
It is written in sand
C G C
With the softest of feathers
Am C
It is not writ in stone
C F G
Like the walls of the chapel
Am F
And soon it is gone
C G C
Like the soft winters at home
[Chorus]
C F
When the young people dance
C F G
They do not dance forever
C F
It is written in sand
C G C
With the softest of feathers
Am C
It is not writ in stone
C F G
Like the walls of the chapel
Am F
And soon it is gone
C G C
Like the soft winters at home
[Chorus]
C F
When the young people dance
C F G
They do not dance forever
C F
It is written in sand
C G C
With the softest of feathers
Am C
It is not writ in stone
C F G
Like the walls of the chapel
Am F
And soon it is gone
C G C
Like the soft winters at home
[Chorus]
C F
When the young people dance
C F G
They do not dance forever
C F
It is written in sand
C G C
With the softest of feathers
Am C
It is not writ in stone
C F G
Like the walls of the chapel
Am F
And soon it is gone
C G C
Like the soft winters at home
