[Intro]
G2
       C2                                        G2
 
[Verse]
G2
Off he goes down the road
    C2                              G2
Who knows how many he's been down before
G2
With all the years he's come to know
        C2                           G2
Does he wonder if he's gonna see one more
                    G7
Hanging on to yesterdays
C2                            G2
Till too many tomorrows are todays
             G7                  A
With all the turns the road will bring
        C2                Am       D
Well, a young man's gotta wait and see
 
[Chorus]
G
Will I ever be the old man
G
Whose words young’uns ponder on?
       F    C      F      C
Will I ever take a lady's hand?
G
And will I ever be the old man
Who finally is too far gone?
           F      C        F       C
Will there come a day when I can't stand
F    C               D
Am I gonna live that long?
 
[Verse]
G2
Reaching out for days to come
         C2                         G2
Where an old man walks, a young man runs
G2                          G7
The road I know is bound to end
 C2                Am                  D
Still I can't help wondering where and when
 
[Chorus]
G
Will I ever be the old man
G
Whose words young’uns ponder on?
       F    C      F      C
Will I ever take a lady's hand?
G
And will I ever be the old man
Who finally is too far gone?
           F      C        F       C
Will there come a day when I can't stand
F    C               D
Am I gonna live that long?
 
[Outro]
G2                   G7                         A
