(part A)

C5            F5       G5       C5

Getting hung up all day on smiles
           F5          G5        C5
Walking down Portobello Road for miles
         F5             G5
Greeting strangers in Indian boots
F5            G5
Yellow ties and old brown suits
A5               G5
Growing old is my only dan - ger

(part B)
C5       F5           G5      C5
Cuckoo clocks and plastic socks
             F5   G5       C5
Lampshades of old antique leather
               F5          G5      A5
Nothing looks weird, not even a beard
F5               G5
Or the boots made out of feathers
F5       C5
I keep walking miles
       F5               C5
'til I feel a broom beneath my feet
F5       C5
Or the hawking eyes
        G5                G5
Of an old stuffed bull across the street
             F5           G5       C5
Nothing's the same if you see it again
        F5      G5       C5
It'll be broken down to litter
            F5       G5       A5
Oh and the clothes everyone knows
F5                     G5
That that dress will never fit her

(part C5 ) C5 F5  G5 C5

(whistling)
F5  G5 C5
(whistling)
F5   G5 A5

(more whistling)
F5 F5  G5 G5 G5 G5 G5 G5 G5 G5 G5 G5 G5 G5

(all strummed downward quickly)

(repeat parts a and b and then part a again with the last line)
A5 G5 C5 F5 G5 C5

Growing old is my only dan - ger
