INTRO: C  D  Em   C  D  Em    D  C  B7  Em   D  C  B7  Em
       G   D  C  Em  D  Em  
       C  D  Em  C  D  Em


It's down by the river
    D
The water's running low
     C                     B7
As I wander underneath the trees
    Em
And in the park outside of town
    D                                   C
The leaves turned brown and yellow now
    B7             Em
Are falling on the ground


  G
Remembering the way you felt
  D                          C
Beside me here when love was new
     Em
That feeling's just grown stronger
        D                 Em
Since I fell in love with you


CHORUS:
          C              D                   Em
Now we've only got these times we're living in
      C              D                  Em   C  D  Em   C  D  Em
We've only got these times we're living in


            
There's Winter wood piled on the porch
D
Walnuts scattered on the ground
    C                        B7
And wood smoke rising to the sky
    Em
An old man comes home from work
       D                      
And he hugs his wife in a sweat-stained shirt
C                          B7                Em
Walks through that door to where it's warm inside


G
And I'm walking as the wind
D                       C
Rustles in the fallen leaves
   Em
My footsteps picking out a tune
   D                 Em
My heart sings silently


CHORUS:
          C              D                  Em
How we've only got these times we're living in
      C              D                  Em
We've only got these times we're living in


INSTRUMENTAL: Em    D  C  B7  Em  D  C  B7  Em
              G   D  C  Em  D  Em  
              C  D  Em  C  D  Em


            
See the roses dried and faded
    D
The tall trees carved and painted
     C                      B7
With long forgotten lovers' names
    Em
The old cars standing empty
    D              
And dogs barking at me
     C                B7                Em
As I walk through the quiet streets the same


G
If I could I'd tell you now
      D                       C
There are no roads that do not bend
        Em
And the days like flowers bloom and fade
         D            Em
And they do not come again


CHORUS:
      C              D                  Em
We've only got these times we're living in
      C              D                  Em   C  D  Em   C  D  Em
We've only got these times we're living in
