My Get Up And Go

[Refrão] D G D How do I know my youth is all spent? A D My get up and go has got up and went G D But in spite of it all I'm able to grin A D And think of the places my get up has been verse 1: D A Old age is golden so I've heard said D But sometimes I wonder as I crawl into bed G A With my ears in a drawer, my teeth in a cup E A My eyes on a table until I wake up D A As sleep dims my vision I say to myself: D Is there nothin' else I should lay on the shelf? G D But though nations are warring and business is vexed A D I'll still stick around to see what happens next. REPEAT Chorus verse 2: D A When I was young my slippers were red D I could kick up my heels right over my head G D When I was older my slippers were blue E A But still I could dance the whole night through D A Now I am older my slippers turned black A7 D I huff to the store and I puff my way back G D But never you laugh, I don't mind at all A D 'cause I'd rather be huffing than not puff at all REPEAT Chorus verse 3: D A I get up each morning and dust off my wits A7 D Open the paper and read the 'obits G D If I'm not there I know I'm not dead A D So I eat a good breakfast and go back to bed REPEAT Chorus
