was just thinking to myself this morning, you [F] know what I thought, just how helpless I [C] really am.
Oh [Am] Lord, my hair is turning gray, [G] get a new rake of every day.
[F] Yes I'm just a moral [C] man, let me tell you all about it.
I cannot make myself kill my hair, oh God knows I [F] tried.
I can't even make one [C] little flower grow, it takes water to do that look.
[Am] Oh thank the years, I know I [G] tried, but the hands on the clock keep ticking on [F] by.
One day young, oh [C] the next day old.

And from my side darling [C] I thought you would never, never, never go away.
[Am] That's my smallest grave, [G] and the league of my love been betrayed.

And say goodnight, yes I will, [C] but you're a mortal man.
