Intro:
Am Em F
When you are as old as I, my dear
Dm G
And I hope that you never are
Am Em F
You will woefully wonder why, my dear
Dm G
Through your cataracts and catarrh
F G C
You could squander away or sequester
F G Em
A drop of a precious year
F G C
For when your best days are yester
D G
The rest'er twice as dear
Verse:
C G
What good is a field on a fine summer night
F G
If you sit all alone with the weeds
C G
Or a succulent pear if with each juicy bite
F G
You spit out your teeth with the seeds
Am Em Am Em
Before it's too late stop trying to wait
Am G F
For fortune and fate you're secure of
Dm C Dm Em Am
For there's one thing to be sure of mate
Dm F G
There's nothing to be sure of
Chores:
A C#m D E
Oh it's time to start livin'
A C#m D E
Time to take a little from this world we're given
A Bm C#m D C#sus4
Time to take time cause spring will turn to fall
Bm C#m D E A
In just no time at all
Verse:
C G
I've never wondered if I was afraid
F G
When there was a challenge to take
C G
I never thought about how much I weighed
F G
When there was still one piece of cake
Am Em Am Em
Maybe it's meant the hours I've spent
Am G F
Feeling broken and bent and unwell
Dm C Dm Em Am
But there's still no cure so heaven-sent
Dm F G
As the chance to raise some hell
??Everybody?

PreVerse:
C Dm Em Am
Sages tweet that age is sweet
Dm G C
Good deeds and good work earns you laurels
C Dm Em Am
But what could make you feel more obsolete
Dm F G
Than being noted for your morals?
Verse:
C G
Give me a man who is handsome and strong
F G
Someone who's stalwart and steady
C G
Give me a night that's romantic and long
F G
Then give me a month to get ready
Am Em Am Em
Now I could way-lay some aging roué
Am G F
And persuade him to play in some cranny
Dm C Dm Em Am
But it's hard to believe I'm being led astray
Dm F G
By a man who calls me granny
??1, 2, 3, 4?
Chores:

In just no time at all
PreVerse:
C Dm Em Am
Now when the drearies do attack
Dm G C
And a siege of the sads begins
C Dm Em Am
I just throw these regale shoulders back
Dm F G
And lift these noble chins
Verse:
C G
Here is a secret I never have told
F G
Maybe you'll understand why
C G
I believe if I refuse to grow old
F G
I can stay young till I die
Am Em Am Em
Now, I've known the fears of sixty-six years
Am G F
I've had troubles and tears by the score
Dm C Dm Em Am
But the only thing I'd trade them for
Dm F G
Is sixty-seven more
??Alright, one more time
And this time, let??s hear it from everybody

A C#m D E
Oh it's time to keep livin'
A C#m D E
Time to take a little from the world you??re given
A Bm C#m D C#sus4
You are my time so I'll throw off my shawl
Bm C#m D E
And watching your flings be flung all over
Bm C#m D E
Makes me feel young all over
