I met a man who was not quite an old man
A5
Said he was an old boy
D5
I would make a toast to believe and bet you
A5
That I would be the same old man
D5
Not the kind with a lost soul
A5
Who can't put down his toys
D5
Honey there'll be absolute peace in my heart
A5
And resolution in my soul

E5                     A5               D5
So don't, don't, darlin' don't be surprised
E5            A5         D5
When I don't leave your side
E5
'Cause there's not a single part of my love
     A5               D5
That you should not believe
E5
I hope when I grow old
A5                   D5
That you grow old with me

D5
I begged the pardon of the fullness of somebodies
A5
Because I love the left lane
D5
And I begged the pardon of the mass media
A5
You know on Sundays I don't go to mass
D5
And I tipped my hat to your dog in your yard by your
A5
house, I'm waiting for a hurricane
D5
To blow, blow, blow from the west to the east and tell me
A5                  D5
who's gonna be here last

E5                     A5               D5
So don't, don't, darlin' don't be surprised
E5            A5         D5
When I don't leave your side
E5
'Cause there's not a single part of my love
     A5               D5
That you should not believe
E5
I hope when I grow old
A5                   D5
That you grow old with me

E5
I hope when I grow old
A5                   D5
That you grow old with me
E5
I hope when I grow old
A5                   D5
That you grow old with me
