Come On Sixty Five chords by Merle Haggard

Chords with lyrics

C majorC                FF          C majorC
Somewhere on the old Kern River there's an old cane pole

        G7G7     C majorC
That waits for me patiently this city job might drag me down

  FF        C majorC      G7G7       C majorC
But one fine day I'm gonna be set free wait and see

  FF                  C majorC
And then I'm gonna go down to where the waters touch the sky

FF              C majorC        G7G7
Where the old men's laughter goes like a lullaby

   C majorC  FF      C majorC
Sixty five c'mon sixty five it's a sin to waste my life away

           G7G7    C majorC  FF      C majorC
But I can't wait till I'm sixty five c'mon sixty five

                 G7G7   FF     C majorC
There's a gold watch if I get out alive past sixty five


               FF     C majorC
Now somewhere in my memories I recall a boy

   G7G7      C majorC
Seventeen full of dreams dreams and life just stripped away

 FF     C majorC        G7G7         C majorC
A augmentedA layer at a time now what's left ain't hardly me

  FF                C majorC
Oh but I saved up a little here and there to get me by

FF                 C majorC        G7G7
Enough to mend my ragged wings and once again I'll fly


   C majorC  FF      C majorC
Sixty five c'mon sixty five it's a sin to waste my life away
           G7G7    C majorC  FF      C majorC
But I can't wait till I'm sixty five c'mon sixty five
                  G7G7    FF     C majorC
Lord the object of the games is to survive past sixty five


                    FF      C majorC
I've heard it said that hard work never did a body's body

  G7G7          C majorC
Any harm well they were wrong cause all these years of lifting things

 FF       C majorC        G7G7        C majorC
I should of left alone took their toll my will was strong

  FF                  C majorC
And the day that I walk out of here I'll hold my head up high

FF                     C majorC        G7G7
Then I'll pawn this stupid watch and kiss thirty years goodbye


   C majorC  FF      C majorC
Sixty five c'mon sixty five it's a sin to waste my life away

           G7G7    C majorC  FF      C majorC
But I can't wait till I'm sixty five c'mon sixty five

                 G7G7   FF     C majorC
There's a gold watch if I get out alive past sixty five


                  FF          C majorC
Now somewhere on the old Kern River there's an old cane pole

        G7G7     C majorC
