[Chorus]
C     C/B Am                  G          F
Oldest of friends, you're the youngest I know
   C       F           F           G
So easy to hang on, so hard to let go
C     C/B     Am          G              F
Leave when it storms, and stay when it's fair
      C            G           C
Is it too much for you just to care?

[Verse 1]
C        C/B Am          G             F
Thinking way back on the days spent in town
        C                 F               F           G
All the times that you're gone still your presence is found
C    C/B Am         G              F
So many people that you've come to know
    C           G        C
And few of them ever let go

[Chorus]
C     C/B Am                  G          F
Oldest of friends, you're the youngest I know
   C       F           F           G
So easy to hang on, so hard to let go
C     C/B     Am          G              F
Leave when it storms, and stay when it's fair
      C            G           C
Is it too much for you just to care?

[Verse 2]
C        C/B Am           G            F
Crossing the country from westbound to east
    C            F            F      G
Ah, leave behind little, take only belief
C     C/B  Am             G        F
Spread yourself thin like ashes in air
    C           G        C
And go with the times anywhere

[Chorus]
C     C/B Am                  G          F
Oldest of friends, you're the youngest I know
   C       F           F           G
So easy to hang on, so hard to let go
C     C/B     Am          G              F
Leave when it storms, and stay when it's fair
      C            G           C
Is it too much for you just to care?

[Verse 3]
C        C/B Am           G       F
It's taken a long time to finally know
         C           F           F           G
That the best way to keep you is just to let go
C      C/B Am        G             F
People can give only what they can spare
        C           G        C
And the rest be contented to share

[Chorus]
C     C/B Am                  G          F
Oldest of friends, you're the youngest I know
   C       F           F           G
So easy to hang on, so hard to let go
C     C/B     Am          G              F
Leave when it storms, and stay when it's fair
      C            G           C
Is it too much for you just to care?

[Coda]
C      C/B Am        G             F
People can give only what they can spare
        C           G        C
And the rest be contented to share
