VERSE ONE 
 

C                                                        G7 
Now you might think that thirty five is just a little too old 
                                           C 
But I'm not ready yet to be put out in the cold 
                                                       G7 
I've got plenty of good love left....woman if you just use it 
                                                C 
You know the older the violin, the sweeter the music 
 
BRIDGE 
 

C                        G7 
And I can play...a sympho-ny of love 
                                     C 
like a thousand violins singin' from above 
                                                      G7 
You're gonna really miss my lovin'...someday when you lose it 
                                               C 
You know the older the violin, the sweeter the music

These specks of grey that's in my hair...just make me look dis-tinguished 
                                                        C 
They don't mean I'm over the hill...and Babe I'm not ex-tinguished 
                                                                      G7 
There's lots of young girls waitin' for my love.and Babe they won't re-fuse it

They know the older the violin, the sweeter the music.
