Fred Wedlock-Oldest Swinger In Town (live)
                      (Capo 2)
C* = 31023x

G                                     D     G
When you're scoring with a chick in a disco bar,
C                     Em
Take her home in your hairy little car,
         G                B7              Em     C
Then you find you went to school with her ma and pa,
           G                 D
You're the oldest swinger in town.

G                                        D        G
When you won't look in the mirror in the light of day,
C                              Em
Swear you've dyed it when your hair turns grey,
         G           B7                Em             C
When you zip up your trousers and your belly's in the way, 
           G      D          G
You're the oldest swinger in town.

C*                G
Here you come and there you go,
A?                         D
White wheels, spots, and a stereo, 
G                 B7              Em       C
But the engine is clapped and the driver also, 
           G      D          G
You're the oldest swinger in town.

G                              D         G
The barber takes a little less time each week,
C                           Em
The kids don't understand a word you speak,
         G           B7             Em          C        
When you walk into a disco and they offer you a seat,
           G                 D
You're the oldest swinger in town.

G                              D           G
You prefer a pint of shandy to Bacardi and Coke,
C                                   Em
The sounds are too loud and there's too much smoke,
G                  B7                Em                  C        
You'd like another dance, but you're afraid you'll get a stroke,
           G      D          G
You're the oldest swinger in town.

C*                      G
Here you come with your chest all bare,
A                         D
A little gold ingot and a lot of gold hair,
G              B7         Em   C    
Like the disco king meets Yogi Bear, 
           G      D          G
You're the oldest swinger in town.

G                                 D          G
When you're feeling as stiff as a skinhead's boot,
C                       Em
Rub on Vick's where you used to splash Brut,
        G           B7              Em      C
And the latest punk fashion is your wedding suit, 
           G                 D                
You're the oldest swinger in town.

G                                     D     G
When you have to go shopping for your sex appeal,
C                     Em   
Travolta's shades and nine inch heels, 
           G              B7         Em       C
They say a man is just as old as the woman he feels,
           G      D          G
You're the oldest swinger in town.

C*                      G
Here you come with your lips closed tight,
A                            D
You never smile, you know it wouldn't look right,
           G        B7           Em     C
Cause your dentures glow in ultraviolet light,
           G                 D          
You're the oldest swinger in town.
B7                Em    C
oldest swinger in town,
G               B7                Em            C     
And you look so mean because your pants are too tight,
           G                 D
You're the oldest swinger in town.

       G             B7
And it takes you all night,
               Em             C
To do what you used to do all night,
           G      D          G
You're the oldest swinger in town.
