[Intro] D D7 G D D D7 G A [Verse 1]
       D             D7
Off he goes down the road

    G                             D
Who knows how many he's been down before

D                               D7
With all the years he's come to know

        G                            D
Does he wonder if he's gonna see one more
[Verse 2]
D                   D7
Hanging on to yesterdays

         G                  D
Till too many tomorrows are today

D                                D7
With all the turns the road will bring

        G                          A
Well, a young man's gotta wait and see
[Chorus 1]
           D
And will I ever be the old man

D
Whose words young ones ponder on

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

            D
And will I ever be the old man

D
Who's finally too far gone?

          C      G        C       G
Will ther come a day when I can't stand

C                    A
Am i gonna live that long?
[Verse 3]
         D               D7
Reaching out for days to come

        G                         D
Where a old man walks a young man runs

D                           D7
The road I know is bound to end

        G                              A
Still I can't help wondering where and when
[Chorus 2]
           D
And will I ever be the old man

D
Whose words young ones ponder on

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

           D
And will I ever be the old man

D
Who's finally too far gone?

          C      G        C       G
Will ther come a day when I can't stand

C                    A
Am i gonna live that long?
[Outro] D D7 G D D D7 G D
