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
