Pete Seeger - My get up and go

^D H^Gow do I know my yo^Duth is all spent? My g^Aet up and go has g^Dot up and went But in sp^Gite of it all I'm ab^Dle to grin And th^Aink of the places my get up has b^Deen

^DOld age is golden^A so I've heard said But sometimes I wonder as I c^Drawl into bed With my^G ears in a drawer, my te^Aeth in a cup My^E eyes on a table until I w^Aake up As s^Dleep dims my vision I^A say to myself: Is there nothin' else I should^D lay on the shelf? But though^G nations are warring and^D business is vexed I'll^A still stick around to see what happens^D next.

W^Dhen I was young my sl^Aippers were red I could kick up my heels right o^Dver my head ^GWhen I was older my s^Dlippers were blue But s^Etill I could dance the whole night t^Ahrough N^Dow I am older my s^Alippers turned black I h^A7uff to the store and I pu^Dff my way back But n^Gever you laugh, I d^Don't mind at all 'cause I'd r^Aather be huffing than not puff at a^Dll

I ^Dget up each morning and d^Aust off my wits Op^A7en the paper and r^Dead the 'obits ^GIf I'm not there I kn^Dow I'm not dead So I e^Aat a good breakfast and go back to b^Ded
