Cant remember  if  I  ever  posted  this  back  when I wrote  it ,It  must be  an age  thing .

Ageism

Em                                   G                            D                  A
The  day  light  comes,  the night  is  over ,another  day  begins
Em                                   G                                       D                  A
The morning sun  sneaks through my  window,to  wake  me  up again
Em                                   G                            D                     A
I make  the  coffee,make  the  breakfast  feed  the  cat  and  then 
Em                                   G                     D                               A ~
sit  and  watch the  word  revolving, tomorrow  will  be  the same …

G                                           A                  Em
And I  wonder  what  will  happen now  what  will  life  unfold 
G                                           A                  Em
And I  wonder  what  will  happen now,Am I  just  growing  old


Em                                   G                       D                  A
The postman knocks,he brings a letter another bill to pay
Em                     G                       D                  A
Got no time for conversation ,he just walks away
Em            G                            D                     A
Can't see that I'm a person,though I'm old and grey
Em                                   G                 D              A ~
Wouldn't cost or take a moment  to  ask if  I'm OK.....

G                                           A                  Em
And I  wonder  what  will  happen now  what  will  life  unfold 
G                                           A                  Em
And I  wonder  what  will  happen now,Am I  just  growing  old

Em                     G                       D                  A
Stumble back ,turn on the  TV listen to  the  news
Em                         G                          D                    A
Cant believe what  is  out  there ,just gives me the blues
Em                           G                              D                     A
Can't  be  bothered ,change the channel, got to crack a smile
Em                             G                             D                            A ~
Can't  believe how much they're paying  to employ Jeremy  Kyle .....

G                                           A                      Em
And I  wonder what will come to pass,and will my dreams  come true 
G                                           A           Em
One thing that I know for sure is old age will come to you

Re: Ageism

Excellent song covers how many people I know in my age group feel about life. I love the way it works in the best traditions of folk music. Good comment about trash TV and Jeremy Kyle.     

Re: Ageism

Jeremy Kyle dates it, yeah? They binned him last year lol. I'm sure you've posted this before it looks familiar. but then everything looks familiar, it's just names that escape me....     

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.

Re: Ageism

Another great song of the very high standard we've come to expect from Graham. Now I'm just waiting for Jeremy Kyle to pen his reply.

Re: Ageism

For those of us states side - you peaked my interest.....who is Jeremy Kyle ?

Re: Ageism

Jim ,Jeremy Kyle was a talk show host in the UK  who got sacked last year . A nasty version of Jerry Springer his show was cancelled when someone committed suicide after being on the show.     

Re: Ageism

True, but no one got beaten up just told what kind of cave man/woman they were.     

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.

Re: Ageism

Jeremy Kyle was a small man with a big mouth and even bigger ego who had to hide behind his bodyguards.
