My Get Up And Go chords by Pete Seeger

Chords with lyrics

CHORUS:
D MajorD G+G         D MajorD
 How do I know my youth is all spent?
  A augmentedA         D MajorD
My get up and go has got up and went
     G+G          D MajorD
But in spite of it all I'm able to grin
   A augmentedA                D MajorD
And think of the places my get up has been


Verse 1:
D MajorD        A augmentedA
Old age is golden so I've heard said
               D MajorD
But sometimes I wonder as I crawl into bed
    G+G            A augmentedA
With my ears in a drawer, my teeth in a cup
 E MajorE             A augmentedA
My eyes on a table until I wake up
  D MajorD          A augmentedA
As sleep dims my vision I say to myself:
               D MajorD
Is there nothin' else I should lay on the shelf?
     G+G            D MajorD
But though nations are warring and business is vexed
  A augmentedA                   D MajorD
I'll still stick around to see what happens next.

REPEAT CHORUS

Verse 2:
 D MajorD          A augmentedA
When I was young my slippers were red
                D MajorD
I could kick up my heels right over my head
G+G          D MajorD
When I was older my slippers were blue
   E MajorE                  A augmentedA
But still I could dance the whole night through
 D MajorD         A augmentedA
Now I am older my slippers turned black
  A7A7            D MajorD
I huff to the store and I puff my way back
   G+G         D MajorD
But never you laugh, I don't mind at all
      A augmentedA                 D MajorD
'cause I'd rather be huffing than not puff at all


REPEAT CHORUS

Verse 3:
 D MajorD            A augmentedA
I get up each morning and dust off my wits
 A7A7        D MajorD
Open the paper and read the 'obits
G+G          D MajorD
If I'm not there I know I'm not dead
   A augmentedA                  D MajorD
So I eat a good breakfast and go back to bed

REPEAT CHORUS
