20 Years Gone

A

[Verse 1]
                             D   
Don't ask a string picker to play 
           A
when he's drinkin'
Don't ask an old wino for a glass of
      E
 red wine
      A                    D      
Don't ask a young lady for her 
     A                             
hand in marriage until you've been 
          E      A
courtin' for many a time


[Chorus]
E                      D         
Banded young ladies to roll with 
    A                              
the changes to be there for the 
                                 E
good times even though they've done 
wrong
    A                         D   
The way that I see it there's 
        A
forty years comin'
Oh but the way I've been livin' it's
      E            A
 been twenty years gone


[Verse 2]
                               D   
I've been out swing dancin' to live
         A
 western music
I've been a hearse driver for many 
      E
of my own
    A                        D    
But former his work when you know 
           A
that she's drinkin'

                               E   
And to later his work when you know
        A
 how to smile


[Chorus]
E                      D         
Banded young ladies to roll with 
    A                              
the changes to be there for the 
                                 E
good times even though they've done 
wrong
    A                         D   
The way that I see it there's 
        A
forty years comin'
Oh but the way I've been livin' it's
      E            A
 been twenty years gone

[Verse 3]
As sharp as the plowshare and as 
D           A
hard as the mornin'
A gentleman's livin' has never been 
E
true
   A                        D     
So keep up your earnin' and bring 
          A
down your spendin'
Fore sweet mother nature puts a 
E          A
hurtin' on you


[Chorus]
E                      D         
Banded young ladies to roll with 
    A                              
the changes to be there for the 
                                 E

    A                         D   
The way that I see it there's 
        A
forty years comin'
Oh but the way I've been livin' it's
      E            A
 been twenty years gone


[Chorus]
E                      D         
Banded young ladies to roll with 
    A                              
the changes to take them out 
                  E
dancin' and sing them a song
    A                         D   
The way that I see it there's 
        A
forty years comin'
Oh but the way I've been livin' 
           E         A
don't feel twenty at all
