Chords

[Verse 1]
G
He's out there somewhere every night

     C                G
The music's playin' loud
He's doing all-a those fifty's steps
           A      D
He's in a 1980 crowd

G
Dim lights hide the milage line

   C                 G
Clairol hides the gray

     C                 G
And he won't mention anything

    D                G
To give his old age away
[Chorus]

Oh Lord, he's thirty-nine an he's holdin'

He's holdin' everything that he can

        C          G
From seventeen to twenty-five

       A                 D
He'll prove he's still a man

                G
Hey boy, you're holding to a candle

G
Well, now you can bet he'll never see

         C        G
Thirty-nine, again
Should have turned loose long ago
     A                      D
But still hes a hangin' it in

G
He still thinks that he's the man

C                     G
That he once used to be
Hes thirty-nine and holding And Acting twenty-three [Chorus]

Hey boy, you're holding to a candle

            C               G
And it's a-burning at both ends

Thirty-nine and holding
