AS TIME GOES BY
By: Herman Hupfeld
Frank Sinatra, Rod Stewart
Key: Eb

-3*  -3* -3* -3*  -3*   4   4  4
This day and age we're liv-ing in
  4    -5*  -5* -5*-5* -5   5
Gives cause for ap-pre-hen-sion
-3*   -5   -5  -5  -5  5  -3*
With speed and new in-ven-tion
 3    5     5     5   5  -3*  3*
And things like third di-men-sion

 3  3*  -2 -2 -2  -2  -3* -3*
Yet we grow a tri-fle wear-y
 -3* 3 3   3    3      5   5
With M-r. Ein-stein's the’-ry
-3* 5  -5  -5   -5  -5  -5   
So we must get down to earth 
5   -3*  5  -5  -5  -5   -5  -5   -3*
at times re-lax re-lieve the ten-sion
-3* 5   5   5    5   -5   -6
No mat-ter what the prog-ress
-5  -3* -3* -3* -3*  5
Or what may yet be proved
 3   3*  3*   3*  3*  5   -5*  5
The sim-ple facts of life are such
 3*  -2  -2  -2 -2  -3*
They can-not be re-moved

CHORUS
 3   3*  3  -2  -1*  -2
You must re-mem-ber this
3  -3* 3*   3  -2  3*
A kiss is still a kiss,
-3*-5* -5  5  -3* 5
A sigh is just a sigh
-5  -6  -5* -5  5    -5  -5* -3* 
The fun-da-men-tal things ap-ply
-3* -1*  -2  3
As time goes by
 
 3   3*   3  -2  -1* -2
And when two lov-ers woo
 3    -3*   3*   3  -2   3*
They still say, "I love you"
-3* -5* -5   5  -3* 5
On that you can re-ly
-5 -6  -5*  -5   5  -5  -5*  -3*
No mat-ter what the fu-ture brings
-3* -1*  -2  -1*
As time goes by

 -1*  -2   -1*  4     4
Moon-light and love songs
 4  4*  4  -4  4
Nev-er out of date
  -2    3   -2  4   4
Hearts full of pas-sion
 4   -5  4 -4   4
Jeal-ous-y and hate
 3  3*   3   -5*
Wom-an needs man
-5* -5*  -5   -5* -5   -6
And man must have his mate
 -5  5   5   3  3 -3*
That no man can de-ny

 3     3*   3   -2  -1* -2  -2
It's still the same old sto-ry
3  -3*   3*  3   -2   3* 3*
A fight for love and glo-ry
-3*-5* -5 5  -3* 5
A case of do or die
-5   -6    -5* -5  5   -5   -5* -3* -3*
The world will al-ways wel-come lov-ers
3   -3*  -3* -5*
As time goes by

REPEAT CHORUS
Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
