Verse 1
G 
Well, when I was a young man,
I traveled around.
C 
G 
I worked every hard bar
Am 
in every hard town.
G 
For the whiskey, the draft beer,
the porter and stout.
I sang everywhere,
D 
till I sang myself out.
C 
Now I'm getting older
G 
but it don't bother me
C 
G 
When I can't hit the high notes
Am 
I just drop the key
G 
And sometimes when I sing
C 
G 
now the words escape me
I drifted back north
Em 
G 
and took a job at a mill
C 
G 
I did not plan on staying
Am 
but now it looks like I will.
G 
Got a room near the mill
C 
G 
where the rent's still cheap.
Got a job in the card room
D 
I can do in my sleep.
C 
And now I'm getting older
G 
but it don't bother me
C 
G 
when I can't hit the high notes.
Am 
I just drop the key
G 
and sometimes when I sing
C 
G 
now the words escape me.
Well, I met a girl in the
Em 
Am 
G 
weave room one day
C 
G 
She promised to love me
Am 
if I promised to stay
C 
G 
Oh, I made her my wife one
C 
G 
day that same spring
Now she turns up the TV
D 
when I start to sing
C 
G 
And now I'm getting older,
but it don't bother me
C 
G 
When I can't hit the high notes,
Am 
I just drop the key
G 
And sometimes when I sing,
C 
G 
now the words escape me
So I sit and I look out
the card room window
C 
G 
As the snow starts to fall
Am 
and the wind starts to blow,
G 
but I've seen better days,
C 
G 
I've seen worse ones too.
I've had better jobs,
D 
but this one will do.
C 
And now I'm getting older,
G 
but it don't bother me.
C 
G 
When I can't hit the high notes,
Am 
I just drop the key.
G 
And sometimes when I sing,
C 
G 
D 
C 
D 
now the words escape me.
Am 
C 
G 
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh,
