G
Well, don't be ashamed of your age

A                           A7
Don't let the years get you down

    D7                 G                   E7
The old gang you knew, they still think of you

     A7                      D7
As a rounder in your old hometown

G                           C
Don't mind the gray in your hair

         A7                             D7
Think of all the fun you had puttin' it there

                C
And as for that old book of time

    G               E7
You never skipped a page

   A7        D7             G7
So don't be ashamed of your age

E7       A7         D7            G
Brother, don't be ashamed of your age

        G
And now listen Mr. Smith and Mr. Brown

      A                    A7
Don't let your age get you down

     D7                   G                E7
Your life ain't begun, until you're forty, son

       A7                             D7
That's when you really start to go to town

    G                          C
And don't wish that you were a lad

                 A7
Why, boy, you've lost more gals

               D7
than they ever had

C                          G          E7
you've graduated from that old sucker stage

   A7        D7             G
So don't be ashamed of your age

E7       A7         D7            G   E7
Brother, don't be ashamed of your age

A7           D7          G
We’re not ashamed of our age
