Capo III

A minorAm C majorC G+G

A minorAm     C majorC      G+G
Lather was thirty years old today,
   E minorEm    D MajorD     C majorC
they took away all of his toys.
  A minorAm     C majorC     G+G
His mother sent newspaper clippings to him,
     E minorEm        D MajorD       C majorC
about his old friends who'd stopped being boys.

     E minorEm     D MajorD      FF       D MajorD
There was Harwitz E. Green, just turned thirty three,
  A minorAm      E minorEm      D MajorD
his leather chair waits at the bank.
  E minorEm      D MajorD       FF      D MajorD
And Sargent Dow Jones, twenty seven years old,
A minorAm       E minorEm    D MajorD
commanding his very own tank.

  C majorC      D MajorD     E minorEm
But Lather still finds it a nice thing to do,
  C majorC     D MajorD      E minorEm
to lie about nude in the sand
    C majorC      D MajorD       E minorEm
Drawing pictures of mountains that look like bumps,
  D MajorD             A minorAm  A augmentedA
and thrashing the air with his hands.

  A augmentedA          G+G
But wait, oh Lather's productive you know,
  A augmentedA      G+G     A augmentedA
he produces the finest of sound
               G+G
Putting drumsticks on either side of his nose,
A augmentedA      G+G       A augmentedA   A minorAm G+G D MajorD A minorAm G+G D MajorD
snorting the best licks in town;
  E MajorE
but that's all over

A minorAm G+G D MajorD A minorAm G+G D MajorD

A minorAm     C majorC      G+G
Lather was thirty years old today,
  E minorEm     D MajorD       C majorC
and Lather came foam from his tongue.
  A minorAm      C majorC       G+G
He looked at me eyes wide and plainly said,
   E minorEm      D MajorD     C majorC
is it true that I'm no longer young? (mommy?)

    E minorEm    D MajorD    FF D MajorD
And the children call him famous,
     A minorAm   E minorEm   D MajorD
what the old men call insane
  E minorEm D MajorD       FF  D MajorD
And sometimes he's so nameless,
    A minorAm   E minorEm     D MajorD
that he hardly knows which game to play;
   C majorC
which words to say

   C majorC      D MajorD     E minorEm
And I should have told him, "no, you're not old."
   C majorC      D MajorD     E minorEm D MajorD       A minorAm
And I should have let him go on, smiling, baby wide.

A minorAm G+G D MajorD A minorAm G+G D MajorD
