Standard Tuning
Tabbed by: Johan Persson
This one was a little tricky, not completley sure about it especially
"some kids are going off - we're fingering the punch bowl" part but I hope you enjoy it anyway.
Intro:
- -
When I left I wasn't thinking
-
That I wasn't coming home
But first Al Green
And then Barry White
Convinced me not to go
- -
And I didn't come home for fighting
-
I came to bandage up my hand
And if you're gonna talk to me like that
Then I'll just go back out again
Wipe that chip right off your shoulder
-
We ain't getting any younger
Some things are getting bigger
Some things are falling off
Some things they seem much harder
Some other things stay soft
- -
We're tipping over in the taprooms
-
We're shooting through the ceiling
We're dying in the bathrooms
And we're living for that one sweet, fleeting feeling
- -
I know my cough sounds awful
-
Some nights it hurts a bit to breathe
But I'm glad it's just my body
I do my business on the street
We ain't getting any younger
-
Tomorrow night we'll be that much older
Some kids are growing awkward
C (Here I'm not sure) Am
And some kids are going off
We're fingering the punch bowl
We're feeding from the trough
There's nothing quite like a Cheyenne sunrise
To make us has-beens feel too old
Onward Christian soldiers
-
We're gonna bash right through your borders
I bet your next party gets sketchy
I saw the new kids nodding off
Some things are getting bigger
Some things are falling off
Some things seem much harder
Some other things stay soft
