[Verse 1]
C
I may be getting old
C
But I got young fashioned ways
   F
I may be getting old
                           C
But I got young fashioned ways
          G
But I'm gonna love a good woman
F                        C
The rest of my natural days

[Verse 2]
C
If my hair's turning gray
C
I know you think the way I feel
   F
If my hair's turning gray
                            C
I know you think the way I feel
               G
There may be snow up on the mountain
F                                  C
But there's a thaw down under the hill

[Verse 3]
C
I may be getting old
C
But I got young fashioned ways
   F
I may be getting old
                           C
But I got young fashioned ways
           G
I don't worry about no young one
F                               C
There'll be no one to take my place

C
A young horse is fast
C
But an old horse knows what's going on
    F
A young horse is fast
                                     C
But an old horse knows what's going on
   G
A young horse may win the race
F                               C
But an old horse stays out so long
