1. The memories of a man in his old age

                    D                               G

    are the deeds of a man in his prime.

                                                 C                                

    You shuffle in gloom in the sickroom,

            D                                 G    ~

    and talk to yourself as you die.

      G                               C                  D                            G

    Life is a short, warm moment and death is a long cold rest.

              /                                            C

    You get your chance to try in the twinkling of an eye:

      D                                               G

    eighty years, with luck, or even less.

    

          G                              C                

2. So all aboard for the American tour,

              D                                      G

    and maybe you'll make it to the top.

              /                                          C

    And mind how you go, and I can tell you, 'cause I know,

              D                              G    ~

    you may find it hard to get off.

    

      G                               C           D                                 G

    You are the angel of death and I am the dead man's son.

                          /                                 C

    And he was buried like a mole in a fox hole,

            D                                  G

    and everyone is still on the run.

    

              G                             C

3. And who is the master of fox hounds?

              D                                     G

    And who says the hunt has begun?

 

                /                                    C

    And who calls the tune in the courtroom?

             D                                  G

    And who beats the funeral drum?

 

 

 

             G                                      C            

3. The memories of a man in his old age

                    D                               G

    are the deeds of a man in his prime.

                                                 C                                   

    You shuffle in gloom in the sickroom,

            D                                 G

    and talk to yourself as you die.
