Lyrics

(C)When I get old er, los ing my hair,

will you still be send ing me a val en tine, birth day greet ings, (C)bot tle of wine?

If I’d been out till quar ter to three,

(C7)would you lock the (F)door?

Will you still need me, (C)will you still feed me, (D9)when I’m (G7)six ty (C)four?

(Am)Ev ’ry sum mer we can rent a cot tage in the Isle of (G)Wight if it’s not too (Am)dear.

You’ll be old er (E)too.

(Am)Ah,

and if you say the word

(F)I could (G)stay with (C)you.

(C)I could be hand y mend ing a fuse

when your lights (Ebdim)have (G)gone.

You can knit a sweat er by the fire to side, Sun day morn ing, (C)go for a ride.

Do ing the gar den, dig ging the weeds,
