Pete Seeger - My get up and go

^FHow do I know my ^Cyouth is all spent? My ge^Gt up and go has got up and ^Cwent But i^Fn spite of it all, I'm a^Cble to grin And t^Ghink of the places my get-up has b^Ceen

O^Cld age is golden, s^Fo I've heard sa^Gid But sometimes I wonder as I cr^Cawl into bed With my e^Fars in a drawer, my t^Ceeth in a cup My e^Gyes on the table until I wake up

As sle^Cep dims my vision, I ^Fsay to m^Gyself Is there anything else I should l^Cay on the shelf? But though nat^Fions are warring and b^Cusiness is vexed I'll st^Gill stick around to see what happens ne^Cxt

^FHow do I know my ^Cyouth is all spent? My ge^Gt up and go has got up and ^Cwent But i^Fn spite of it all, I'm a^Cble to grin And t^Ghink of the places my get-up has b^Ceen

W^Chen I was younger, my sl^Fippers were r^Ced I could kick up my heels right ov^Cer my head W^Fhen I was older my s^Clippers were blue But s^Gtill, I could dance the whole night thru

N^Cow I am old, my sli^Fppers are b^Glack I huff to the store and I p^Cuff my way back ^FBut never you laugh, I do^Cn't mind at all I^G'd rather be huffing than not puff at ^Call

^FHow do I know my ^Cyouth is all spent? My ge^Gt up and go has got up and ^Cwent But i^Fn spite of it all, I'm a^Cble to grin And t^Ghink of the places my get-up has b^Ceen

I ge^Ct up each morning and du^Fst off my ^Gwits Open the paper and rea^Cd the obits ^FIf I'm not there, I k^Cnow I'm not dead So I e^Gat a good breakfast and go back to b^Ced

^FHow do I know my ^Cyouth is all spent? My ge^Gt up and go has got up and ^Cwent But i^Fn spite of it all, I'm a^Cble to grin And t^Ghink of the places my get-up has b^Ceen
