Вступление
DIRTY OLD MAN recorded by Valdy written by Bob Ruzicka 4/4
G G C C -- Keep repeating over the recitation.
An old man stood on the corner and watched some young folks come his way.
They had youthful smilin' faces, prompted that old man to say:
'Howdy, kids. How ya been doin'? Geez it sure is a hell of a day.'
They just stared, looked him up and down and walked on along the way.
The old man shook his head passed his fingers thru his hair so gray,
As those kids walked down the street, I thought I heard the old man say.....
G C G G C
Been around for eighty summers, some were winners and some were bummmers, I loved them all.
G C
Once I was young and full of fun like you, I had a million dreams and some came true,
C G G C G
You can't win 'em all.
CHORUS:
D Am G/B C
Now I'm old and tired, bent and busted, and grey and wrinkled and I can't be trusted.
G G C G
Just a dirty old man.
G C
As I look back on the younger years, I shared your hopes and I shared your fears,
G G C G
Yes I made that scene.
G C
My parents never understood and I guess that I felt that they never would,
G G C G
You know what I mean.
CHORUS:
D Am G/B C
Now I'm old and tired, bent and busted, and grey and wrinkled and I can't be trusted.
G G C G
Just a dirty old man.
G C
Well, I've done some livin' in this life of mine,I've laughed and loved in the summertime,
G G C G
I remember it well.
G C
There was lips to kiss, and hands to hold. and I never thought I would get very old
G G C G
But here I am.
CHORUS:
D Am G/B C
Now I'm old and tired, bent and busted, and grey and wrinkled and I can't be trusted.
G G C G
Just a dirty old man.
G C
But you, you wait fifty years or so, you'll be standing on the corner with no place to go,
G G C G
Just lookin' around,
G
And if some young folks should pass you by,
C G G C G
Don't say 'hello', don't even wave 'hi', they'll only put you down.
CHORUS:
D Am G/B C
Because you're old and tired, bent and busted, you're grey and wrinkled and can't be trusted.
G G C G
Just a dirty old man.
Repeat once then repeat the last line.
look at me just a dirty old man
