Me And Martin Growing Old chords by Valdy

D           C   D
Battle scars are deep upon the face of my guitar
   C           A
Weathered lines and old age keep showin' through
  D
Listen to how he's playing now just slightly out of tune



    C              A
It's ain’t his fault, I got 4 thumbs instead of 2
  D         C      D
I can recall a tavern where a waiter slipped and fell
        C        A
Filled Old Martin's wooden belly full of beer
   D         C       D
The lines in his lacquer are like lines upon my brow
     C              A
And we both have come to know the stain of many tears

chorus
        D
Won't you put him in the comfort of his satin travel bed
      G       D
Keep him from all the sunshine and the cold
  D
He will still be making music long after I am gone
      G     D
It's just me, and Martin growing old
  D           C     D
Martin's kept me going through the shadows of the night
      C         A
I can't remember when he ever let me down
      D           C
Always playing for the wishes of this temperamental fool
                     A
In the country halls or concerts in the town
    D             C    D
The wheels of fame and fortune they turn diamonds into dust
      C           A
All the lights upon the stage are bound to go dim sometime
  D
Standing in the silence after everyone is gone
   G   D        A
You can hear old Martin playing once again
Chorus
 D
 Put him in the comfort of his satin travel bed
      G    A     D
Keep him from all the sunshine and the cold
 D
He will still be making music long after I am gone
      G   D
It's just me, and Martin growing old
      D  A   G    D
It's just me, and Martin growing old
