| Capo 2 |
| Am | G | F | Am/E | |
| Who'll walk me | down to church when I'm | sixty years of | age |
| F | E | |
| When the | ragged dog they gave me has been | ten years in the grave |
| Am | G | F | Am/E | |
| And | senorita | play guitar | play it just for | you |
| F | E | Am | G/A | D/A | C/A | Am | |
| My | rosary has broken and my | beads have all slipped | through |
| Am | G | F | Am/E | |
| You've hung up your | great coat and | you laid down your | gun |
| F | E | |
| You | know the war you fought in | wasn't too much fun |
| Am | G | F | Am/E | |
| And the future you're | giving me holds | nothing for a | gun |
| F | E | Am | G/A | D/A | C/A | Am | |
| I've | no wish to be living, | sixty years | on |
| (Strings vamp) |
| Am | G | F | Am/E | |

| I | know my vintage prayers will | be very much the same |
| Am | G | F | Am/E | |
| Magdelena | plays the organ, | plays it just for | you |
| F | E | |
| Your | choral lamp that burns so low when | you are passing through |

| And the future you're | giving me holds | nothing for a | gun |
| F | E | Am | |
| I've | no wish to be living | sixty years | on |
