Verse:
         C#m
He's the oldest guy I've seen
       B                            C#m   A B C#m
But he dances like a King without a Queen
C#m
    That man steps on the street once more
        B                       C#m
Breakin out no longer my life's whore
        C#m                                B                    C#m
See the smile upon his face, and you'll forget all your hardest days
       C#m                       B                     C#m
Map of skies adorns his face but never never fell from grace
          C#m                                  B                       C#m
Sure, his beard is bloody gray, but that's the price that he has go to pay
        C#m                               B                            C#m
Not throwing a dance to anyone, he's just jogging to get his last show done

C#m
 
Chorus:
    A             E       B                   C#m
His age is just a number, written on black on white
   B                          C#m
No pity for him, his eyes are shining bright
A                              E
Let him dance right here every night and day
B                            C#m
Down in a corner, scratching flies away

A           E            B          C#m
Look at the reaper  he's losing the fight
    A             E       B                   C#m
His age is just a number, written on black on white
A           E      B                   C#m
Down at the corner dancing through the night
