[Verse 1]
  G             Gmaj7/F#
Heaven sent the promised land,
 G7/F              G6/E
Looks alright from where I stand,
      G6+/D#             G5/D   D#    Em    D#  D7  D9  Am7/E D7
'Cause I'm the man on the out - side look - ing in,
   G          Gmaj7/F#     G7/F              G6/E
Waiting on the first step, show me where the key is kept,
G6+/D#             G5/D  D#
Point me down the right line,
      Em   D#    D7
Be - cause it's time...


[Chorus]
D9            G              G7/F
 ...To let me in ...from the cold,
G7/D     C    C  C/B  Am7
Turn my lead in - to gold,
                   G                      G7/F
'Cause there's a chill wind blowing in my soul,
      G7/D               D7    D9
And I think I'm growing old!


[Verse 2]
  G               Gmaj7/F#
Flash the readies, wot's  ...uh, the deal? 
G7/F                   G6/E
 Got to make it to the next meal,
G6+/D#                   G5/D   D#  Em  D#   D7    Am7/E D7
 Try to keep up with the turn - ing of the wheel,
 G                  Gmaj7/F#                 G7/D
Mile after mile,     stone after stone,  you turn to speak,
          (Mile after mile,      stone after stone!)
    G6/E
But you're alone,
  G6+/D#             G5/D   D#    Em  D#   D7
A million miles from home, you're on your own!


[Chorus]
D9            G              G7/F
 ...So let me in ...from the cold,
G7/D     C    C  C/B  Am7
Turn my lead in - to gold,
                   G                      G7/F
'Cause there's a chill wind blowing in my soul,
      G7/D               D7   D9 D7  D7sus4 D7  D9  D7
And I think I'm growing old!        |   /   /   /   /  |

[Verse 3]
 G              Gmaj7/F#          G7/F             G6/E

...What's the news?  Where y' been?
               G                  G7/F
'Cause there's no wind left in my soul,
    G7/D        D7    D9
And I've grown old!'
