This song should really be played in the key of E to be plucked
the same as the recording, but this version will do well for
strummers.
[Verse 1]
D G Line One is the time D A G D when you, you first stayed over at mine. A G D And we drank our first bottle of wine. A G D Then we cried.
[Verse 2]
G Two, we're away, D A G D and we both, we both had nowhere to stay. A G D Well, the bus shelter's always okay, A G D when you're young.
[Bridge]
D G Now you're older and I look at your face, D G Every wrinkle is so easy to place, D Bm And I only write them down just in case A You should die.
[Chorus]
D Bm Just take a look at these crows feet, just look G A Sitting on the prettiest eyes, D Bm Sixty twenty-fifth of Decembers, G A Fifty-nine fourth of Julys. G A Not through the age or the failure children, D Bm Not through the hate or despise. D Bm Take a good look at these crows feet, A G D Sitting on the prettiest eyes
[Verse 3]
D G Line Three, I forget, D A G D But I think, I think it was our first ever bet, A G D And the horse we backed was short of a leg - A G D Never mind
[Verse 4]
D G Four, in a park, D A G D And the things, the things that people do in the dark. A G D I could hear the faintest beat of your heart A G D Then we did.
[Bridge]
D G Now you're older and I look at your face, D G Every wrinkle is so easy to place, D Bm And I only write them down just in case A You should die.
[Chorus]
D Bm Just take a look at these crows feet, just look G A Sitting on the prettiest eyes, D Bm Sixty twenty-fifth of Decembers, G A Fifty-nine fourth of Julys. G A You can't have too many good times children D Bm You can't have too many lines D Bm Take a good look at these crows feet, A G D Sitting on the prettiest eyes
[Outro]
D G D Well, my eyes look like a map of the town D G D And my teeth are either yellow or they're brown G A D Bm But you'll never hear the crack of a frown when you are here G A D No, you'll never hear the crack of a frown.
Of a frown...
