CAPO: 4th Fret
[Intro]
C F Dm Am7 Dm C G
[Verse 1]
C
Milly has an old face
F
She calls it her new face
Dm F
Milly has an old face
C
Showing all its years
Dm F
Remembering the heartaches
C
Harsh words and remakes
Dm
Treasuring the keepsakes
F G
That help to hide the fears
[Verse 2]
C
Yes, Milly has an old face
F
Smiling at the retraced
Dm F
Memory of an embrace
C
That was always there
Dm F
When life was something grown in
C
Love was sometimes thrown in
Dm
But never, ever shown in
F G F
A place with others near
[Chorus]
G C Dm
In old eyes the young girl dances
F Dm
Takes her chances
G F
While she may
G C Dm
And in old eyes the young man watches
F G
As time notches one more day
[Instrumental]
C F Dm Am7 Dm C G
[Verse 3]
C
And Billy has an old face
F
Moving at an old pace
Dm F
Not afraid of disgrace
C
Bringing up the rear
Dm F
Time alone for musing
C
He's not afraid of losing
Dm
Happy in his choosing
F G
To be a mutineer
[Verse 4]
C
Yes, Billy has an old face
F
Living in an old place
Dm F
Searching for the misplaced
C
Memories very dear
Dm F
Telling all the tall tales
C
Storm wind and sea gales
Dm
Lost oars and torn sails
F G F
Till the glass said clear
[Chorus]
G C Dm
In old eyes the young girl dances
F Dm
Takes her chances
G F
While she may
G C Dm
And in old eyes the young man watches
F G
As time notches one more day
[Instrumental]

C F Dm Am7 Dm C G
[Verse 5]
C
In the mirror there's an old face
F
Waiting for the young face
Dm F
In the mirror there's an old face
C
Showing all its years
Dm F
We'll remember our heartaches
C
Harsh words and remakes
Dm
We'll treasure the keepsakes
F G
That help to hide our fears
[Verse 6]
F G C
When we're an old, old face
F G C
With lines of the finest lace
F Dm C
Folded in time's embrace
F G C
Proud of our old, old face
F G C
When we're an old, old face
F G C
With lines of the finest lace
F Dm C
Folded in time's embrace
F G C
Proud of our old, old face
