Capo 2nd fret

Drop D

I met a man who was not quite an old man

Said he was an old boy

I would make a toast to believe and bet you

That I would be the same old man

Not the kind with a lost soul

Who can't put down his toys

Honey there'll be absolute peace in my heart

And resolution in my soul

So don't, don't, darlin' don't be surprised

When I don't leave your side

'Cause there's not a single part of my love

 That you should not believe

I hope when I grow old

That you grow old with me

I begged the pardon of the fullness of somebodies

Because I love the left lane

And I begged the pardon of the mass media

You know on Sundays I don't go to mass

And I tipped my hat to your dog in your yard by your

house, I'm waiting for a hurricane

To blow, blow, blow from the west to the east and tell me

who's gonna be here last

So don't, don't, darlin' don't be surprised

When I don't leave your side

'Cause there's not a single part of my love

 That you should not believe

I hope when I grow old

That you grow old with me

I hope when I grow old

That you grow old with me

I hope when I grow old

That you grow old with me
