♫ Verse 1: Ruby Fields & Adam Newling:
    D MajorD            G+G
My old man loves a slap at the pub
D MajorD             G+G
One hundred stiff down the plug
      B minorBm           A augmentedA
"It's just money", he says, "Can't take it when you're dead"
   D MajorD           G+G
Fends off my disputes with a shrug

♫ Verse 2: Ruby Fields:
  D MajorD             G+G
The sad thing
Dad, is we all lag behind
   D MajorD         G+G
With pokie machines and  speeding fines
  B minorBm              A augmentedA
The bank of life says that we're all in deep debt
      D MajorD            G+G
So money's quite nice to have while alive


♫ Pre-Chorus: Ruby Fields:
  B minorBm          A augmentedA
So we'll just exchange a judgemental gaze
     D MajorD           G+G
While he slaps and I sip on my ciggie
       B minorBm                 A augmentedA
His wallet's having as much fun as the air in my lungs
    D MajorD           G+G
It's as bad as him smokin' 'em with me


♫ Chorus: Ruby Fields:
    D MajorD     D MajorD
Oh, the age
    G+G     G+G
Oh, the ages

♫ Verse 3: Ruby Fields & Adam Newling:
    D MajorD            G+G
My old man loves a slap at the pub
D MajorD                G+G
Sticks to light beer, it's nicer  on his gut
   B minorBm           A augmentedA
"It's better", he says, "than headaches in bed
     D MajorD              G+G
And it's winning me points with your mum"

♫ Pre-Chorus: Ruby Fields & Adam Newling:
  B minorBm           A augmentedA
So we'll just exchange an eye-level gaze
     D MajorD          G+G
'Fore the taxi man gives him a call
   B minorBm                A augmentedA
"It's good to see you
Dad"; "You too, possum
I'm glad
F# minorF#m     D MajorD           G+G
To see that you're not smoking anymore"
G+G N.C.
I lie and walk around the block and light another one


♫ Chorus: Ruby Fields & Adam Newling:
    D MajorD
Oh, the age
    G+G
Oh, the ages
    D MajorD
Oh, the age
    G+G
Oh, the ages
