[G] As the years [E] go by and I grow older, the days get longer and the nights get colder
[A] And the blood's getting [Am] thinner in these old [D] veins of mine
I get to thinking about the places I've [A] been, the people I've met and the [E] sights I've seen
[A] Now I realize [D] I'm running [G] short of time
[Ab] Well I guess I've lived a good life, [G] one you could call a beast
Just [A] a-rambling around this country, [B] doing [D] as I please
Now [Dm] I've never tried [G] to be [E] a saint or be somebody that I ain't
[Am] And right through life everything for me's [D] been fine
And [G] if I had my life again [D] to live over, [E] I'd still be a bum, I'd still be a rover
[A] It's a sad, sad thing, I'm running [G] short of time
I've [C] been a real hard man to handle, [G] stubborn as a mule
[A] But now that fire's dying, [Dm] guess I'm running out [D] of fuel
[G] Now [Dm] ashes to ashes and dust to dust, [E] when called to go, then go you must
Prepare yourself, [A] get ready to tow [D] that line
[G] And [D] when I'm ready to leave the bush, [E] just bury me away out in the bush
[A] Wear a happy sandal lots and [G] lots of time
Wear [A] a happy sandal [D] lots and lots [G] of time
[C] [G]
[A] And the blood's getting [Am] thinner in these old [D] veins of mine
