[D][C][C#dim][G][E][A][D][G]
[E][A][D][G]

[Verse 1]
Don't be [G]ashamed of your [A]age
Don't let the years get you down
That [D]old gang you knew,
they [G]still [E]think of you
As [A]a rounder in your old hometo[D]wn
[G]Don't mind the grey in your hair
[C]

[Verse 2]
Just think [A]of all the fun you've
had puttin' it [D]there
As for [C]that old book of time,
you've [G]never skipped a [E]page
So [A]don't be [D]ashamed of your [G]age,
[E]brother[A]
Don't be [D]ashamed of your age

[Interlude 1]

[Verse 3]
[G]Listen, Mr. Smith, Mr. [A]Brown
Don't let your age get you down
[D]Life ain't begun un[G]til you're forty,
[E]son
That's [A]when you really start
to go [D]to [G]town
Don't wish that you were a [C]lad
Why, boy, [A]you've lost more gals
than they've ever had
[D]And, [C]listen, you've graduated
from [G]that ol' sucker [E]stage
So [A]don't be [D]ashamed of your [G]age,
[E]brother[A]
Don't be [D]ashamed of your age

[Outro 1]
