Track 8 Three Score Years and Ten

Chords and lyrics

Three score years and ten

E7      (C7shape 4^th fret)                       A7                  A6           E7

You know you're getting old when friends start slipping away

   A                               A7                 G°                                       B7

You know you're getting closer to your own dying day

E                                  E7

Getting old’s not for the fainthearted

   A                                                          G°

You start losing track of your dearly departed

E                                E7               A                       C

Time slips by so fast and then

E                                                                              C9                           B9           E      B7

You find you're getting closer to that three score years  and ten

People say that life’s a farce but the jokes on them

To stop from falling on their arse they keep tight hold of their nursemaid’s hem

If you worry too much you’ll end up craven

Might as well spend your whole life raving

Either way, time will pass and then

You find you're getting closer to that three score years  and ten

Why waste your life just wondering what it’s all about

Don’t waste your breath it’s a better thing to sing and shout

Don’t listen to religious pleading

Original sin is plain misleading

What came first the chicken’s egg or the hen

You’ll still be heading for your three score years  and ten

A

I may be right I may be wrong

E

I guess I’ll never know

A

When your time come’s they’ll bang that gong

        B                 Bb                   B  B+7

And it’ll be the end of your show
