G                         C
 I'm not the wreck of the Hesperus

G                   C
 I'm not a power of attorney

 But I can rock as good as Gibraltar
Em        Em/D           A
 Ain't no more no spring chicken

 Make up lies then they leak 'm out
Em                  C7
 Behind a pseudonym, the rottenness in them
Am7                     B7
 Reaching out trying to touch me
[Verse]
G                    C
 Met some Oscars and Tonys
G               C        B
 I slipped on a pavement oyster
Em     Em/D           A
 Met a snake climbing ladders

 Got out of the line of fire

But it's al  -  right

Em                 C7
 Brainless writers gossip nonsenses
Am7                          Em
 To others heads as dense as they is
Em        Em/D     A
 It's the same old malady
Am7             B7
What they see is faulty

 I'm not the wreck of the Hesperus

 Feel more like Big Bill Broonzy
Em       Em/D      A
 Getting old as my mother
B                 Em       Em/D
 But I tell you I got some company
