VERSE
G                   C
 I'm not a power of attorney
G                       C    B
 But I can rock as good as Gibraltar
Em        Em/D           A
 Ain't no more no spring chicken

 Been plucked but I'm still kicking
         Bbdim7 G     Bbdim7  G       D/F#
But it's al  -  right, it's alright


MIDDLE 8
Em                   C7
 Poison penmen sneak, have no nerve to speak
Am7                     Em
 Make up lies then they leak 'm out
Em                  C7
 Behind a pseudonym, the rottenness in them
Am7                     B7
 Reaching out trying to touch me


VERSE
G                    C
 Met some Oscars and Tonys
G               C        B
 I slipped on a pavement oyster
Em     Em/D           A
 Met a snake climbing ladders
B               Em      Em/D
 Got out of the line of fire
         Bbdim7 G     
But it's al  -  right

 Brainless writers gossip nonsenses
Am7                          Em
 To others heads as dense as they is
Em        Em/D     A
 It's the same old malady
Am7             B7
What they see is faulty


VERSE

 I'm not the wreck of the Hesperus

 Feel more like Big Bill Broonzy

 Getting old as my mother

 But I tell you I got some company
