[Verse]

       G                        D
Well I know that I said that so long ago
G                  C
I would not say it now
      G                             D
But I didn't know what I said would stick like glue
       Em          C         G
What …I said in the days gone by


[Verse]

          G               D
Well they tried, tried to stitch me up
        G                           C
So many words, words I said so long ago
         G                    D
Well, we were oh so young and foolish then
                 Em                C       G
Hopefully we can make mistakes and then we grow


[Chorus]

        G                 D
For the days of Auld Lang Syne, my love
        G                 C
For the days of Auld Lang Syne
        G                             D
I wanna drink, I wanna drink a cup of kindness with you
        Em            C                     G
For the sake, for the sake of the days gone by


[Verse]

    G                          D
And hopefully, we will keep on growing and growing
 G                                        C
Baby, baby, baby, baby, 'til we reach the sky
     G                             D
If I ever reach, my love I haven't reached
          Em             C            G
I'm gonna surely have to try, have to try


[Chorus]

        G                 D
For the sake of Auld Lang Syne, my dear
        G                 C
For the sake of Auld Lang Syne
        G                             D
I wanna drink, I wanna drink a cup of kindness
        Em            C                     G
For the sake, for the sake of the days gone by

[Verse]

  G                                      D
I feel so sorry, I feel so sorry for the ones who lead
       G                                    C
For to lead, they wanna lead such a perfect life
            G                                 D
Sweep under everything, sweep everything underneath the rug
            Em              C                           G
And they're never free from conflict, from conflict and strife


[Verse]

                G                              D
Because they perpetuate, perpetuate some kinda lie, my love
   G                       C
Perpetuate, perpetuate the lie
    G                                         D
But everything I'm doin', everything I had to fight for it
       Em                  C         G
Had to fight for it in the days gone by


[Verse]

            G                     D
There is no easy way, no easy way out my friend
    G                         C
You got to get used to it somehow
               G                               D
Everything you got in your life, right up 'til now
                Em                  C         G
Somebody had to fight for it in the days gone by


[Verse]

           G                        D
Well, I go walking, walking up that hillside now
          G                             C
Where the heather, heather's growing so wild
        G                             D
And I'm going to carry my child on my shoulders 'cross the river
        Em      C         G
For the sake of days gone by


[Bridge]

        G                       D
For the days, for the days gone by, my dear
        G                       C
For the days, for the days gone by
        G                                   D
I wanna share a cup, I wanna share a cup of kindness with you
        Em             C                G
For the sake, for the sake of Auld Lang Syne


[Chorus]

        G                 D
For the sake of Auld Lang Syne, my dear
        G                 C
For the sake of Auld Lang Syne
        G                                         D
I wanna carry my child on my shoulders 'cross the river now
              Em             C                 G
Gonna keep on walkin' In the days of Auld Lang Syne


[Bridge]

     G               D
Have mercy now, have mercy now
     G                 C
Have mercy, have mercy now
      G                         D
Gonna keep on keepin' on, gonna keep on keepin' on
        Em          C         G
For the sake of the days gone by


[Final Verse]

     G                                          D
Everything I have in my life right now I had to fight for it,
G                              C
Fight for it, fight for it somehow
      G                                D
Gotta keep on fighting today, fighting every which way
        Em          C         G
For the sake of the days gone by


[Outro]

        G                D
Oh, for old acquaintance be forgot
    G                C
And never brought to mind
  G                                   D
I wanna drink, I wanna drink a cup of kindness
        Em      C         G
For the sake of Auld Lang Syne


[Chorus to Fade]

        G                 D
For the sake of days gone by
        G                 C
For the sake of Auld Lang Syne
        G                           D
I wanna shsre, wanna share a cup of kindness with you
        Em      C         G
For the sake of Auld Lang Syne
