The stuff in brackets is optional, mostly just playing the bass. Definitely best to play
as barres, except the C7.
Nice to play the F#dim as 2x121x or 2x1212.
[Intro]
B7 sliding up to C7. They play the B7 as x212xx sliding up to C7 as x323xx.
[Verse]
C7 [E] F7
Off our rockers, actin' crazy
C7
And with the right medication we won't be lazy
[E] F7 F#dim
Old folks boogie, down on the farm
C7
Wheelchairs, they was locked arm in arm
G7 F7 G7
Paired off pacemakers with matchin' alarms
C7 G7
Gives us just one more chance to spin one more yarn
C7 [E] F7
And you know that you're over the hill
C7
When your mind makes a promise that your body can't fill
[E] F7 F#dim
Old folks boogie, and boogie we will
G7
'Cause to us the thought's as good as a thrill
C7 [E] F7
Back at the home, no time is your own,
C7
Facillities there, well they're all out on loan
[E] F7 F#dim
The bank forclose, and your bankruptcy shows
C7
And your credit creeps to an all-time low
G7 F7 G7
So you know, that you're over the hill
C7 G7
When your mind makes a promise that your body can't fill
[Instrumental break]
C7 | % | F7 | % |
C7 | % | % | % | [x3]
C7 | % | F7 | G7 |
[Verse]
C7
Try and get a rise from an atrophied muscle,
F F#dim
And the nerves in your thigh just quivers and fizzles
G7 F7 G7
So you know, that you're over the hill
C7 G7
When your mind makes a promise that your body can't fill
