From the LP The Notorious Byrd Brothers (Nils Lofgren does a nice version on his first solo LP)
E A E I think I'm goin' back to the things I learned so well in my youth A E I think I'm returning to those days when I was young enough to know the truth C#m Abm Now there are no games to only pass the time C#m E No more electric trains, no more trees to climb A B E But thinking young and growing older is no sin A B E And I can play the game of life to win
I can recall a time when I wasn't ashamed to reach out to a friend Now I think I've got a lot more than just my toys to lend Now there's more to do than watch my sailboat glide But every day can be a magic carpet ride A little bit of courage is all we lack So catch me if you can, I'm goin' back
