Here's the Get Older hook to add to the archives. I don't remember
the chords offhand, but it's in the key of G. I think
it's G, D, C and Em in some order. I'm sure you could figure it out in a
few seconds.
E |-----5--------|--------------| B |---0-----0-2--|-2-3----------| G |-0-----0------|-----2--------| D |--------------|-------4-2-0--| A |--------------|--------------| E |--------------|--------------|
The opening solo begins:
E |---17--17--17--17| B |-19--17--16--14--| G |-----------------| D |-----------------| A |-----------------| E |-----------------|

GET OLDER
We open with a solo like this...
e|----------12--------12-------12-------12---------------------------- B|----15---------15-------15-------15--------------------------------- G|------------------------------------------------14--12--11--12--14-- D|-------------------------------------------------------------------- e|----------------------------------------- B|----------------------------------------- G|-----------------11-h-12--11------------- D|----14--14-----------------------14--12--
Who care[G]s If they [D]don't think your cool?[G]
They make everyth[D]ing about rules [G]
The "Tabulated" part for this G to D sequence looks like this
[G] [D]
e |------------5-----------------------------------------------| B |-------0-----------0----3----2-h-3--------------------------| and repeat... G |-0-------------0--------------2-------2---------------------| D |---------------------------------------------4----2-----0---|
And your older[D] than that now[A]
Get old[G]er
The world will fall [Em]into its plac[D]e
You may be sad [A]
When you get older [G]
You might be happy ju[Em]st to stay[D]
In the chorus I use some power chords. like this...
[A5] [A2] [G5] [G7]

Who care[G]s if you do[D]n't know what you want[G]
Cause they [D]don't know what they've got [G]
And you[D] cannot resist[A]
Get old[G]er
Your memories won[Em]'t slip away[D]
And you'll be glad [A]
When you get older [G]
That you were happy f[Em]or today[D]
Who care[G]s?
