Am C G His mother sent newspaper clippings to him, Em D C about his old friends who'd stopped being boys. Em D F D There was Harwitz E. Green, just turned thirty three, Am Em D his leather chair waits at the bank. Em D F D And Sargent Dow Jones, twenty seven years old, Am Em D commanding his very own tank. C D Em But Lather still finds it a nice thing to do, C D Em to lie about nude in the sand C D Em Drawing pictures of mountains that look like bumps, D Am A and thrashing the air with his hands. A G But wait, oh Lather's productive you know, A G A he produces the finest of sound G Putting drumsticks on either side of his nose, A G A Am G D Am G D snorting the best licks in town; E but that's all over Am G D Am G D Am C G Lather was thirty years old today, Em D C and Lather came foam from his tongue. Am C G He looked at me eyes wide and plainly said, Em D C is it true that I'm no longer young? (mommy?) Em D F D And the children call him famous, Am Em D what the old men call insane Em D F D And sometimes he's so nameless, Am Em D that he hardly knows which game to play; C which words to say C D Em And I should have told him, "no, you're not old." C D Em D Am And I should have let him go on, smiling, baby wide. Am G D Am G D Set8 http://sites.google.com/site/guitarmusicchordsandlyrics/
