Chorus 1
( Sung )
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch
Pity a man, for he don't know, the trouble he'll pass
ch]G[/ch
going down life's road
Verse 1
( Recitative )
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
When a man is one and twenty, he thinks he knows it all;
ch]D7[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
He can't see down the road of life where he'll ever fall.
ch]C[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
But fall he will, as he travels through life. With all it's
ch]D7[/ch
pitfalls, troubles and strife.
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch
Now, at fifty, he's going real strong. He has him a family
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
and a nice little home; But old age is creepin' up his spine,
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
and the day is comin' when the sun won't shine.
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch
Now, at sixty, he won't have to guess; He's already missed
ch]G[/ch
the boat that leads to success; But he's done his best
ch]C[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch
and he can't see why, the fame of life just passed him by.
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Now at seventy, he can see the light and he knows he's never
been very bright. But he's done his best as he's traveled by
ch]C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
and now, all he can do is to sit and sigh.
Chorus 2
( sung )
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch
Pity a man, for he don't know, the trouble he'll pass
ch]G[/ch
going down life's road.
Verse 2
( Recitative )
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch
Now at eighty, he's ready for the reath. He's wore out his hair
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
and two sets of teeth; He has rheumatism in his hands and feet,
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
and nothin' seems good to eat. So you can pity him as he goes
ch]C[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
up the line. As he wobbles on the spindle and he's almost blind.
ch]C[/ch
And you can tell by the way that he travels alone, that it won't be
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
long before he's goin' home. But if he's kept the commandments
ch]C[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch
as he's traveled through life, he'll have a home in Heaven
ch]G[/ch
where there'll be no strife. He's worked all his life to get
ch]C[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
things the way he wants them; He comes here against his will
ch]D7[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
and he goes away disappointed.
