I CANNOT SING THE OLD SONGS
Trad. folk song
Key: G
Time: 2/4

-1 -4 -3   -3   3   3   -2*
I can-not sing the old songs
4  4    2    -2*  2 -1
I sang long years a-go
-4   -4   -3   -3     3    3   -2*
For heart and voice would fail me
 4   4   -4   -4    -3    3
And fool-ish tears would flow
 3  3  -2*    3    6    6   -5  -4
For by-gone hours come o'er my heart
 3    -4  -3 -3   3  3-2*2
With each fa-mil-iar strain
-1 -4 -3   -3   3   3   -2*
I can-not sing the old songs
4    4     2    -2*   2  -1
Or dream those dreams a-gain
-1 -4  4   -5  -5*-6*6   3
I can-not sing the old songs
-3  -4    -1     -4  -3  3
Or dream those dreams a-gain
