The cloak of invisibility

Em                         Am
People of a certain age
D                     Em
they tend to disappear
Em                     Am
as they walk along the street
D                                      Em
there's many things they fear
chorus
C                        Em                  Am               D~
What is there and  what  is not ,what is  reality
Em                           Am                        D         Em
you walk  the streets unnoticed  as you pass invisibly
Em                                        Am
The  young think  you dont know a thing
D                      Em
its like you never lived
Em                                      Am
all the  things you  learned in life
D                                  Em
theres lots  that you can  give 
chorus
C                        Em                  Am           D~
What is there and  what  is not ,what is  reality
Em                           Am                        D         Em
you walk  the streets unnoticed  as you pass invisibly
bridge
C                                 D                            Em
And all the  time you wonder  what's  the point
C                       D                  Em
if no one listens to  a word you say
C                   D                            Em
maybe  you should keep it  to your self
C                 D                     Em
maybe you should just fade away
Em-C           Em-C
fade away   fade away

Em                      Am
when your time is ended
D                                    Em
and they put you in the  ground
Em                                 Am
the pages of the history books
D                          Em
your final words  resound
chorus
C                        Em                  Am                      D~
What was  there and  what  was not , what was  reality
Em                           Am                        D         Em
Maybe  then they will see you  as you pass invisibly

Jim its funny you posted a comedy song ,for  years  I  have  written comedy  songs  but  I  usualy  only  do  them at  private  functions  or  party's  for  friends as  some  of  the  lyrics are  a bit  crude  .I  think  I  can adapt  the  one  you  posted  though .
Brian  We  used  to  do  the  Dave  Edmonds  stuff   a  few  years  back  so  maybe  I  can give  it  another  go ,re  the  Quo I've  tried  to  avoid  them for  years even though  I am a  big  fan ,maybe  I  will    try  one  or  two  of  theirs .
Joe, when I  played  with  Cindy  Scholl  from Maine we  used  to  do  the  Van Morrison  stuff always  went  well ,great  suggestions guys  .

Thanks  for  the  comments  guys ,it  took about  10 mins  to  write  on Friday morning  before  I  went  into  work and anther 10  to  record on Saturday .Age ism  is  a  subject I feel  pretty  strong about  especially  since  I  came  back  to  live in the  UK .In Greece  it  didn't  matter  if  you  were  16  or  60 , its  a different story  here .
