Me And Martin Growing Old chords by Valdy

Chords with lyrics

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


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

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