C                   C7        F
I wondered today to the hill  Maggie
   C               G7
To watch the scene below
    C                      C7        F
The creek and the creaking old mill  Maggie

As we use to long long ago

Verse 2

    F                                  C
The green grove is gone from the hill  Maggie
      G7        D7      G7
Where first the daisies sprung
     C                    C7    F
That creaking old mill is still Maggie

Since you and I were young

Oh they say that I’m feeble with age  Maggie
   C                          G7
My steps are much slower than then
   C              C7            F
My face is a well written page  Maggie

And time all alone was the pen

They say we have our different time  Maggie
   G7            D7           G7
As they hear our song that we sung
    C                        C7        F
But to me you're the same as you were  Maggie
     C         G7   C
When you and I were young

Verse 5

F    C         G7   C
When you and I were young
