An old man said
                   Am
"Live one day at a time
              C                  G
Who can add a day to his life by worrying?"


G
Though we're young
                      Am
We've seen what worry can do
      C                                 G
So embrace the worried songs we sing to you

Chorus:
G   Am          G
So mournful the elegy
Am     Am/B   C       G
And so comforting the hymn
G   Am          G
So mournful the elegy
Am     Am/B   C       G
And so comforting the hymn

            G
we ought to sing
                   Am
When we lie in our beds
             C
In the quiet hour
            G
We remember what he said

G
But we're young
                          Am
And we've seen what worry can do
               Am/B    C                  G
So embrace the worried hearts we bring to you

Chorus x3:
G   Am          G
So mournful the elegy
Am     Am/B   C       G
And so comforting the hymn
G   Am          G
So mournful the elegy
Am     Am/B   C       G
And so comforting the hymn
