One of the things I love about this song is the great descending bass line (a la
"Whiter Shade of Pale"
Penny Lane", "Piano Man", "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" and a million other songs).

The old man walks in Echo Park

From bench to bench he moves

For the ducks some bread he brings
Dm/G
Wonder if he'll feed them
F C F C Dm/G G7
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
(CHORUS)
Cm Dm7/G
Old man, tell me are there fears
G7 Cm
Do you measure life in years
F7 Dm7/G G7
Or is one day all you'll ever know
Dm7/G
I've got to know
Oh, oh, oh...
C F
The old man walks in Echo Park
Dm
From bench to bench he moves
C
From morning til dark
