The World I Used to Know
Words & Music by Rod McKuen
Recorded by The Kingston Trio, 1964 (also recorded by Glenn Yarborough)
A AM7 D9 E7 A AM7 D9 E7
Some day some old familiar rain
A AM7 F#m D9 E7 Bm7-5 Ey6
Will come along and know my name.
Bm Bm7 Bm7-5 F#7
And then my shelter will be gone
Bm7 E7 A D9 A
And I'll have to move along.
E7 AM7 D9 Bm F#7
But 'till I do I'll stay awhile
D9 E7 A D9 A E7
And track the hidden country of your smile.
A AM7 D9 E7 A AM7 D9 E7
Some day the man I used to be
A AM7 F#m D9 E7
Will come along and call on me.
Bm Bm7 Bm7-5 F#7
And then because I'm just a man,
Bm7 E7 D9 A D9 A
You'll find my feet are made of sand.
E7 AM7 D9 Bm F#7
But 'till that time I'll tell you lies
D9 - G E E7 A D9 A
And chart the hid-den bound'ries of your eyes.
A AM7 D9 E7 A AM7 D9 E7
Some day the world I used to know
A AM7 F#m D9 Bm7-5 E7
Will come along and bid me go.
Bm Bm7 Bm7-5 F#7
Then I'll be leaving you behind
Bm7 E7 D9 A D9 A
For love is just a state of mind.
E7 AM7 D9 Bm F#7
But 'till that day I'll be your man
D9 G E E7 A D9 A
And love away your troubles if I can.
Coda:
E7 AM7 D9 Bm F#7
And 'till that day I'll be your man
D9 G E E7 A D9 A
And love away your troubles if I can.
