I Didn't Know the World Would Last This Long
John Hartford
Banjo Tuned Eb, Capo 4, Key of C

I [C]stumbled through a y[F]ellow field of dyin[C]g grass
In front of me, some ha[F]ppy people quickly [C]pass
Inhaling deep the air, [F]while I go flying h[C]igh
Younger hands in distant windows wa[G7]ve good [C]bye

I forgot to live in oh so many ways
I thought I saw the numbers marked on all the days
Trembled at the warnings of the sad old men
Beware my son, the earth is coming to an end

But a breeze of simple truth blows through my hair
Striking down the fences in my vacant stare
Stretching out my arms to fly, I know I am free
And find I am getting younger now, the more I see

Chorus:

I didn't know the world would last this long
I didn't know I would ever sing this song
I didn't know how right, I could be wrong
And I didn't know the world would last this long

Words of fear go spinning out across the land
Those who need the guidance of a reassuring hand
While someone's softly singing, I come walking by
Suddenly they'll find their voices, and then they'll cry

Chorus:
