[G] [C]
[G] [D] [G]
Well I've been singing [C] most my lifetime [G] Of Ruckall, Stroudman and [D] Button Bay
[Am] [G] Singing songs of love and [C] hope and freedom [G] While time had slowly slipped away
Have you noticed the policemen getting [C] younger And [G] the busmen, they're getting [D] younger too
[G] While all my friends are [C] getting older I [G] have stayed [D] the same, you know [G] it's true
And Jane, if I climb [C] nearly forty [G] I think my hair is [D] turning grey
I'll [G] be on the pension [C] very shortly [G] And how I long for yesterday
We're so long together [C] it's a record We should [G] be in the Guinness Book [D] of Fame
[G] For twenty-five long years we've [C] been together [G] And just for spite we'll do the same again
But there's silver threads in [C] Tommy's whiskers [G] And Derek with the beard he's getting [D] bald
[G] While Noel he's getting kind [C] of grumpy [G] While I, I'm just not getting old
And Jane, if I climb [C] nearly forty [G] I think my hair is [D] turning grey
I'll [G] be on the pension [C] very shortly [G] And how [D] I long for [G] yesterday
So all you knockers and [C] begrudgers You [G] will admit we have that [D] touch of class
[G] If not we'll send you [C] our new record [G] And you can stick it up your jumper
And Jane, if I climb [C] nearly forty [G] I think my hair is [D] turning grey
[G] I'll be on the pension [C] very shortly [G] And how [D] I long for [C] yesterday
