My Get Up And Go

D G                 D
 How do I know my youth is all 
spent?
    A                 D
My get up and go has got up and went
         G                   D
But in spite of it all I'm able to 
grin
      A                          
And think of the places my get up 
      D
has been


[Verse 1]
D                A
Old age is golden so I've heard said
                             D
But sometimes I wonder as I crawl 
into bed
       G                       D
With my ears in a drawer, my teeth 
in a cup
  E                         A
My eyes on a table until I wake up
    D                    A
As sleep dims my vision I say to 
myself:
                              D
Is there nothin' else I should lay 
on the shelf?

          G                       
But though nations are warring and 
D
business is vexed
    A                              
I'll still stick around to see what
        D
 happens next.


Repeat Chorus


[Verse 2]
 D                    A
When I was young my slippers were 
red
                                D
I could kick up my heels right over 
my head
G                    D
When I was older my slippers were 
blue
     E                           
But still I could dance the whole 
        A
night through
 D                 A
Now I am older my slippers turned 
black
   A7                       D
I huff to the store and I puff my 
way back
     G                  D
But never you laugh, I don't mind at
 all
            A                    
'cause I'd rather be huffing than 
              D
not puff at all


Repeat Chorus


[Verse 3]
  D                        A
I get up each morning and dust off 
my wits
  A7                D
Open the paper and read the 'obits
G                    D
If I'm not there I know I'm not dead
      A                         
So I eat a good breakfast and go 
          D
back to bed
