[Verse 1]
[Em]There
are many [B]things that I would be [D#]proud [C]of
If I'd only inven[A]ted them
[C]such as the [Em]wheel
The washing ma[B]chine and
the [D#]tumble dry[C]er
On these inven[A]tions
Surely [C]I could ret[Em]ire

[Verse 2]
I want to re[B]tire, no [D#m]longer [D#]re q[C]uired
I want to get [A]by without
[C]the man on my [Em]back
A tear in my [B]eye with a [D#m]heart full of pride
[C]I must go out on a high
[A]And tell nob[C]ody why[Em]
[B][D][A][E][B][D][A]

[Verse 3]
[Em]There are many [B]things that
I [D#]know I could [Cm]do
[C]If I'd only had [A]wanted to [C]such as create
[Em]The perf[E]ect tone[B] that
every[D#]one would admire
[C]On this creati[A]on
Surely [C]I could ret[Em]ire

[Verse 4]
I want to re[B]tire, no longer re[C]quired
I want to get [A]by without
[C]the man on my [Em]back
A tear in my [B]eye with a heart full of pride
[C]I mus[Cm]t go out[C] on a high
[A]And not to ans[C]wer to why[Em]
I [E]want to re[B]tire
Inform the suppli[C]ers
I'll leave the party in style
[A]I'm not to be [C]carried out[Em]
Without [E]a cloud in the sky
[B]I've got my fingers in pies
[C]A golden watch in my side
[A]Will measure my [C]free time

[Verse 5]
[Em]Now my place in [B]history [D#]is surely assured
[C]I will be remembered
[A]here for[C]ever more
[Em]A brand new product in place[B]
and a po[D#]tential [C]buyer
Upon this next transac[A]tion
surely [C]I could ret[A]ire
