....sing a song that we wrote 


VERSE ONE (VOCALS BEGIN)

A                    D
When the party's all over
E               E7             A         
....And they've turned off the lights
                     E   E7                  
We'll be packing our gear
E7              A    A7
Long into...the night.

We'll settle our bar tab
E         E7             A    C#7- F#7 (let ring)     
....which seems quite ex-treme
NC                      Bm7

ain't lost on old men.

Cause you're only as old
B        B7               E  E7
....as a dream that gives in.


E7               D    E
But one day just maybe
        E7      A  C#7-F#7
on your car radi-o
F#7                    Bm7
you'll be hearing this old man

....sing a song that he wrote
