When I’m Sixty-Four

Verse

G
When I get older, losing my hair, many years from
D7
now,
will you still be senting me a Valentine, birthday greetings,
G
bottle of wine?
If I'd been out 'till quarter to three,
G7
would you lock the
C
door?
Will you still
Eb7
need me,
G
will you still
E7
feed me,
A7
when
I'm
D7
sixty-
G
four?

Chorus

Em
Hmm------
D
mmm------
Em
mmmh.
Em
You'll be older,
B7
too.
Em
Aaah, and if you
Am
say the word,
C
I could
D7
stay with
G
you.

Verse

I could be handy, mending a fuse, when your lights have gone.
You can knit a sweater by the fireside, sunday mornings, go for a ride.
Doing the garden, digging the weeds, who could ask for more?
Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I'm sixty four?

Chorus

Every summer we can rent a cottage in the Isle of Wight if it's not to dear.
We shall scrimp and save.
Ah, grandchildren on your knee, Vera, Chuck, and Dave.

Verse

Send me a postcard, drop me a line stating point of view.
Indicate precisely what you mean to say, yours sincerely wasting away.
Give me your answer, fill in a form, mine forever more.
Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I'm sixty four?
