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
