Standard (EADGBE)

Go ask an old man, see what he's got to say

Don't as your teachers, they weren't much good anyway

Nothing really matters, as time drifts on by

Its a drop in the ocean, a shot in the sky.

Don't stray from the narrow, keep your hands clean

Seems very silly, if you know what I mean

You worry and worry, never really know why

Wake up in the morning, as trams roll on by

I have a love, so I can't complain

For me there's no other, we play silly games

Though she is not here, I'm never alone

She lives in my pocket, and inside the phone

I'm going to Scotland, that's where I'm from

I'll probably not stay there, cause its not very warm

We followed our father, cause father knows best

With rhyme and good reason

And my wheezing chest

So go ask an old man, see what he's got to say.

If he falls in the gutter, be on your way

Nothing really matters, as time drifts on by

You give your love presents, you laugh and you cry.
