G
I walked back down
    C          G
The river bend road
Em            C           G
Gathered up a couple good stones
G
Down to the water
     C         G
Went looking a load
  Em          C        G      G
I wasn't very far from home
G             C                   G
Well I saw my face at the water's edge
    Em           C     G
The man with the heavy heart
G                     C
Every now and then he feels so close
    Em            C       G       G
And every now and then so far
N.C.
Tell me

[Chorus]
G             C         G
Where did the young man go
    Em                      C       G
The one in the water that I used to know
G           C         G
When did he lose that fight?
       Em
Did he just grow old
       C         G        G
Did he just grow tired

[Verse 2]
G                    C       G
The face I saw was a younger man
  Em          C           G
A little more sure of his ways
G                    C    G
Blissful fool didn't understand
Em          C             G
Hadn't seen enough in his day
G                    C     G
Ten years time and a wiser mind
     Em        C         G
It's seems his world has changed
G               C                  G
Knowing somehow what I didn't know then
Em                 C           G
Would I still have done it the same
N.C.
Tell me

[Chorus]
G             C         G
Where did the young man go
    Em                      C       G
The one in the water that I used to know
G           C         G
When did he lose that fight?
       Em
Did he just grow old
       C         G        D
Did he just grow tired

[Bridge]
D           C                 G          D
There was a time that it came easy for a while
                                C         C
I know it couldn't have be that long ago

[Chorus]
G             C         G
Where did the young man go
    Em                      C       G       G
The one in the water that I used to know
G           C         G
When did he lose that fight?
       Em
Did he just grow old
       C         G
Did he just grow tired
G             C         G
Where did the young man go
    Em                      C       G      G
The one in the water that I used to know
G           C         G
When did he lose that fight?
       Em
Did he just grow old
       C         G
Did he just grow tired
G             C         G
Where did the young man go
    Em                      C       G       G
The one in the water that I used to know
G           C         G
When did he lose that fight?
       Em
Did he just grow old
       C         G
Did he just grow tired
