 C                          F  
The old man walks in Echo Park

This time next spring  
          
Listening to the children play  
Reminds him of the days  
Many years ago  

Thoughts of a child  
That he helped grow  
And memory of a letter  
Saying, dear Sir  
We regret to inform you  
Your son will not be coming home

I've got to know 
Oh, oh, oh...
