Вступление
|| Chords relative to capo 3.
[Intro]
C
[Verse]
C E F C
A pushbike with a sugar bag, tied to its handlebars,
G C
was leaning against the pub they called "the star".
E F C
Inside I saw its owner, a tall and thin old man
G C
sitting on a stool beside the bar.
[Verse]
G F C
I dunno why I ask him, if he'd join me in a beer,
D G7
but he looked at me and a smile lit up his face,
C E F C
"Oh, I'd only have the two he said, or I have to ride my bike,
G C
but on this occasion three's not out of place".
[Verse]
C E F C
He said "I've been here thinkin' just how much we learn in life,
G C
we have to learn to crawl before we walk.
E F C
we start our learning on the very day that we are born,
F C
before too long we have to learn to talk.
[Verse]
G F C
and later on, we go to school, we learn to read and write,
D7 G
and also have to learn the rule of three.
C E F C
Then comes the time, we go to work, we have to learn our job,
G C
and on this depends what our future life will be.
[Verse]
C E F C
Then later on we have to learn if what the good book says is true
G7 C
when we reach our span of three score years and ten
E F C
its then we learn the one last thing that there is left to learn
G C
if there’s another life than this weary world of men
[Verse]
G F C
he said goodbye and thank you for the drink and for the talk
D7 G7
I watched him mount his bike and ride away
C E F C
I made myself a promise, I'd be here next week
G7 C
to listen to the things that he might say
[Instrumental]
C E F C
G C
[Verse]
C E F C
Then came the day that I went there to the Tampo star hotel
G C
but his pushbike wasn't leaning by the wall
E F C
another man was sitting on the stool where he had sat
G7 C
and I felt my happy spirits kind of fall
[Verse]
G F C
I asked the man behind the bar if the old chap had been in
D7 G7
and was saddened by the words he had to say
C E F C
no, he said he's not been in, and he’ll never be again,
G C
our old mates gone, he was buried yesterday
[Verse]
C E F C
I took my glass in silence, and looked out along the road
D7 G
Where just last week I watched him ride away
C E F C
Oh, I knew he’d learn the one last thing, he said was left to learn
G C F7 Fm7 C
The secret of that other life he knows today.
