Same Auld Lang Syne

We had an old record player growing up and six to seven vinyl records which included Elvis Presley, Bee Gees, Air Supply and Dan Fogelberg. With Dan Fogelberg's death earlier this month, I found myself lost in nostalgia for those lazy evenings sitting around the living room listening to a scratched up version of "Same Old Lang Syne". It was my favorite because the lyrics depicted an emotional circumstance that I've pondered about many times.

Our local radio station played "Same Old Lang Syne" this evening and the ending gets me everytime:

Just for a moment I was back at school, And felt that old familiar pain .........


I attempted to play the chords to the song tonight....

C - Am - C - Am - C - Am - D7/F# - Fm7 - G

errr.. Fm7 - barre chords are still toughie


Happy New Year.
