(INTRO ; A-G-D.)
(V1)
[A] I used to have a puppy.
[G] Many years [D] ago.
[A] I played with my puppy.
While I [G] watched him [D] grow.
[Bm] You can never have [Bm/A] enough time.
[G] Being just a [E7] kid.
[A] Remember what I'm [G] telling you.
[D] Before you climb that [E] hill.
(V2)
[A] The hill is there before you.
[G] And soon you'll reach the [D] top.
[A] Soon you're looking back down there.
[G] So you think about all you've [D] got.
[Bm] Everybody [Bm/A] wants to take.
The [G] savings that you've [E7] earned.
[A] Remember what I'm [G] telling you.
[D] Before your fingers [E] burn.
And you're heading down the [A] hill.
Heading for the [D] bone yard.
Heading for the [Bm] last stop on the route.
That takes you to the [E] pearly stars.
You're heading down the [A] hill.
And time is passing [D] faster.
All that's left are [Bm] memories.
Of things you did when you were [E] younger.
And you're worried 'bout your [A] heart.
Is your liver gonna [D] give out.
It's getting harder [Bm] everyday. Everybody says.
Get out of your [E] arm chair..
'Cos you're over the [A] hill.-[D-A]
REPEAT CHORUS
And you're over the [A] hill. [G-D]
