[Intro]
   C              Dm/C
As I approach the prime of my life
G7              C
I find I have the time of my life
C             Am7b5
Learning to enjoy at my leisure
G
All the simple pleasure
Dm       Fm         C
And so I happily concede
A7            Dm7
This is all I ask
G7            C
This is all I need

[Verse]
          Cmaj7  A7                            Dm G7   C C/G
Beautiful girls, walk a little slower when you walk by me
          Cmaj7 A7 Dm7              G7           C  C/G B7sus4/F#
Lingering sunset,  stay a little longer with the lonely sea
B7            Em     Em/B     Em                A7
Children everywhere, when you shoot at bad men, shoot at me
        D7
Take me to that strange enchanted land
Dm7/A    G7
Grownups seldom understand
 
[Outro]
          Cmaj7     A7                          Dm  G7   C   C/G
Wandering rainbows, leave a bit of color for my heart to own
             Cmaj7 A7 Dm7               G7
Stars in the sky,     make my wish come true
           C         E
Before the night has flown
                  F       B7/D#             C       A7
And let the music play as long as there's a song to sing
    Dm          G                 D# D C# C D# D C# C
And I will stay younger than spring


SOME CHORDS ARE WRONG

[Verse]
[C] As [Am] I [Dm] approach the [G] prime of my life.    [F] I find I [G] have the [C] time of my life.   [Am] Learning to [F#m] enjoy at my leisure.    [G] All the simple pleasures.    [Dm] And so I [G#] happily [A#] concede      [E]    [A#m] This is all I [Dm] ask.    [G#m] This is [C] all I [Gm] need   [Dm] 
 
[G] Beautiful [C] girls   [A#m] Walk a little slower    [Dm] When you [G#m] walk [C] by me.    [C] Lingering [Am] sunsets  [Dm] Stay a little [G] longer - With the [C] lonely [F#m] sea.    [B] Children [G] everywhere   When you [B] shoot at bad men, [G] shoot at [A] me

[D7] Take me to that strange Enchanted land.    [G7] grown-ups seldom understand  

Wandering [CMAJ7] rainbows [A#] Leave a bit of color [Dm] for my [G#DIM] heart to [C] own.  [C] Stars in the [Am] sky [Dm7]    [Dm] Make my [G] wish come true, before the night has [G#] flown.    [F] And let the [F#] music play, as long as [B7] there's a [G] song to [A7] sing - Then [Dm] I will stay [G] younger than [C] Spring.
