Verse 3

Now at 50 he's goin' real strong

He has him a family

and a nice little home

But old age is creeping up his spine

And the day is comin' when the

sun won't shine

Verse 4
G 
Now at 60 he won't have to guess
A 
He's already missed the boat
D 
that leads  to success
But he's done his best
G 
and he can't see why
Em 
A 
D 
The fame of life just passed him by

Verse 5
G 
Now at 70 he can see the light
A 
And he knows he's never
D 
been very bright
But he's done his best
G 
as he's travelled by
A 
And now all he can do is
D 
G 
D 
just sit and sigh

Verse 6

F#m

Pity a man for he don't know

The trouble he'll pass goin'

down life's road

Verse 7
D 
G 
Now at 80 he's ready for the wreath
A 
He's wore out his hair and
D 
two sets  of teeth
He has rheumatism in his
G 
Em 
hands  and feet
A 
D 
And nothin' seems good to eat

Verse 8
G 
So you can pity him as he goes up the line
A 
As he wobbles on the spindle
D 
and his almost blind
And you can tell by the way
G 
that he travels alone
A 
That it won't be long before
D 
he's goin' home

Verse 9
G 
But if he's kept the commandments
A 
as he's travelled through life
He'll have a home in heaven
D 
where there'll be no strife
He's worked all his life to get thing
G 
Em 
s the way he wants 'em
A 
He comes here against his will
D 
and he goes away disappointed
