[Intro]

E E7 A Am

E E7

I am an old, old man

My back hurts, my knees ache

and I'm tired all the time

E E7

I feed the ducks cause my wife is dead

A Am

I wish I did not take my youth for granted

E E7

I am an old, old man

My hands are weak, my skin is thin

and I can't ride my bike anymore

E E7

I swallow my pills and my pride alike

A Am

I feel useless, I feel dumb

E E7

I am an old, old man

My bones are crumbling, my hair is light

and I hate watching daytime TV

[Intermission]

E E7 A Am

E E7

The world is changing and I can't keep up

A Am

Nobody needs me these days

E E7

The world is changing and I can't keep up

A E

Nobody needs me these days
