You  a  -nd   I  w - ere  Young


They say I am feeble with age Maggie 
My steps are less sprightly than then,
My face is a well written page Maggie,                                                                                 But time alone was the pen,
They say we are aged and gray Maggie, Spray 
From the white breakers has flung,
But to me youre as fair as you were Maggie,
Since you and I were young.

This is my first tab so if anyone plays it I would 
Welcome any comments.  Terry
Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
