     D      
The old lady on the park bench, 

       Cadd9/D
In the park with just one tree, 

     G/D                      Em
Was there from the very first day 

      C               D
That you were part of me.


     D
It seemed like she'd be sittin' there 

      Cadd9/D
Since one thousand B.C.

        G/D                 Em
And you said, "She is as permanent 

       C        D
As anything can be."


           Em        A
From that first day 

         Em   A         Em
We were three, The old lady,

     A
And you, 

    D   Cadd9/D - G/D - Cadd9/D - D
And me. 


     D
You sat there in my window.

         Cadd9/D
You were looking 'cross the street. 

                G/D               Em
You said, "The birds and the old lady 

         C                    D
Get the same bread crumbs to eat."


    D
I could not get you back to bed 

          Cadd9/D
'Till you took 'em both a treat. 

        G/D                             Em
And I learned that you were twice as stubborn 

         C        D
As you could be sweet.


           Em        A
From that first day 

         Em   A         Em
We were three, The old lady,

     A
And you, 

    D   Cadd9/D - G/D - C - D
And me.


          D
Do you remember that summer rainstorm 

       Cadd9/D
On the day when you moved in?

       G/D              Em
I was caught in the excitement 

    C            D    
Of what was to begin.


              D           
Well you disappeared for a little while, 

           Cadd9/D
And when i asked you where you'd been 

             G/D                  Em 
You said you lent the old lady my new umbrella,

          C                   D
Then you gave me that wicked grin. 


           Em        A
From that first day 

         Em   A         Em
We were three, The old lady,

     A
And you, 

    D 
And me.


         F
Yes on March 21st, the first day of spring, 

         C
The old lady would be there.

  G                     Em
Spend all the days of summer, 

               C         D
Then she'd disappear somewhere. 


            F
Where she spent her falls and winters babe, 

C
No one was aware.

     G                      Em
But you were the first to wonder, 

       A                     D
Yeah, you were the first to care.

         D
It was three years we were together. 

        Cadd9/D
The old lady held that spot.

             G/D                     Em
Through the nights when life was wonderful, 

             C                D
Through the days when it was not.


          D
And the times we were in trouble, 

     Cadd9/D
In a way we sometimes got,

       G/D                Em
Just knowing that she was out there 

          C                     D
Meant we gave it just one more shot. 


           Em        A
From that first day 

         Em   A         Em
We were three, The old lady,

      A                    F#m         D                    E
I got up and I ran to the window to confirm what I already knew.

   E                          D
I wish I had your address To send this letter to.

             A                     D
You see the old lady's not on the park bench, 

     A            D                G
And I'm still wondering where are you? 

          C/G
