Verse 1
C F G C
Getting hung up all day on smiles,
C F G C
Walking down Portobello Road for miles,
Dm7 G
Greeting strangers in Indian boots,
Dm7 G
Yellow ties, and old brown suits,
Am G
Growing old is my only danger
Verse 2
C F G C
The cuckoo clocks, and plastic socks,
C F G C
Lamp shades of old antique leather,
C F G C Am
Nothing looks weird, not even a beard----,
F G7
Or the boots made out of feathers
Verse 3
F C
I’ll keep walking miles,
F C
‘til I feel a broom be-neath my feet,
F C G
Or the hawking eyes of an old stuffed bull
G7
A-cross the street
Verse 4
F G C
Nothing’s the same if you see it a-gain,
C F G C
It’ll be broken down to litter,
F G C Am
Oh, and the clothes everyone knows----,
F G7
That that dress will never fit her
Bridge
