[Intro] G2 C2 G2 [Verse]
G2
Off he goes down the road

    C2                              G2
Who knows how many he's been down before

G2
With all the years he's come to know

        C2                           G2
Does he wonder if he's gonna see one more

                    G7
Hanging on to yesterdays

C2                            G2
Till too many tomorrows are todays

             G7                  A
With all the turns the road will bring

        C2                Am       D      
Well, a young man's gotta wait and see
[Chorus]
G
Will I ever be the old man

G
Whose words young’uns ponder on?

       F    C      F      C
Will I ever take a lady's hand?

G
And will I ever be the old man
Who finally is too far gone?
           F      C        F       C
Will there come a day when I can't stand

F    C               D
Am I gonna live that long?
[Verse]
G2
Reaching out for days to come

         C2                         G2
Where an old man walks, a young man runs

G2                          G7
The road I know is bound to end

 C2                Am                  D      
Still I can't help wondering where and when
[Chorus]
G
Will I ever be the old man

G
Whose words young’uns ponder on?

       F    C      F      C
Will I ever take a lady's hand?

G
And will I ever be the old man
Who finally is too far gone?
           F      C        F       C
Will there come a day when I can't stand

F    C               D
Am I gonna live that long?
[Outro] G2 G7 A C2 Am G
