[C][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]The first time I
[C]heard [G]â??Peggy Sueâ??
I was 12 years old
Russians up in rock[C]et ships
[G]And the war was cold
Now many wars have
[C]come and gone
[D]Genocide still [G]goes on
[Em]Buddy Holly still [C]goes on
But his [G]catalog was sold

[Verse 2]
[G]First time I smoked
[C]Guess wha[G]t, paranoid
[C]Fir[G]st time I h[C]eard
[G]â??Satisfactionâ??
I was young and unemployed
Down the decades [C]every year
Sum[D]mer leaves and [G]my birthday's here
And [Em]all my friends s[C]tand up and cheer
And [G]say Man you're [C]old
Getting old
[F]Old

[Interlude 1]
Getting old

[C][G][C][G]

[Verse 3]
We [G]celebrate the birth [C]of Jesus
[G]on Christmas day
And Buddha found nir[C]vana
[G]along the lotus way
About [C]1,500 years ago the [D]mes
senger Moham[G]mad spoke
And his [Em]wisdom like [C]a river flowed
Through [G]hills of gold
[C]Wisdom is old
The Koran [F]is old
[Bb]The Bible's old
[Eb]Greatest story [D]ever told[G]
[C][G][C]

[Verse 4]
[G]
Disagreements?
Work 'em out
[C][G][C][G][C]

[Verse 5]
[G]
The human race has walked
[C]the earth [G]for 2.7 million
And we estimate the uni
[C]verse [G]at 13-14 billion
When all these numbers [C]tumble
into [D]your imagina[G]tion
Con[Em]sider that [C]the Lord was there
[Em]before[G] creation
[C]God is old
We're not [F]old
God [Bb]is old
He made the [Eb]mold[D]
[G][C][G][C]

[Verse 6]

Take your clothes [C]off
[G]Adam and Eve
