*A lot of this is played arpeggio but it really wouldn't be very
useful to transcribe it all here. Just fool around with the
chords on your own.

Part A.
[C] [F] [G] [C]
Getting hung up all day on smiles
[F] [G] [C]
Walking down Portobello Road for miles
[F] [G]
Greeting strangers in Indian boots
[F] [G]
Yellow ties and old brown suits
[Am] [G]
Growing old is my only dan - ger
Part B.
[C] [F] [G] [C]
Cuckoo clocks and plastic socks
[F] [G] [C]
Lampshades of old antique leather
[F] [G] [Am]
Nothing looks weird, not even a beard
[F] [G]
Or the boots made out of feathers
[F] [C]
I keep walking miles
[F] [C]
'til I feel a broom beneath my feet
[F] [C]
Or the hawking eyes
[G] [G7]
Of an old stuffed bull across the street
[F] [G] [C]
Nothing's the same if you see it again
[F] [G] [C]
It'll be broken down to litter
[F] [G] [Am]
Oh and the clothes everyone knows
[F] [G]
That that dress will never fit her
Part C.
[C] [F] [G] [C]
(whistling...)
[F] [G] [C]

(...more whistling)
[F] [F] [G] [G] [G] [G] [G] [G] [G] [G] [G] [G] [G] [G]
(all strummed downward quickly)
Repeat parts A and B and then part A again with the last line:
[Am] [G] [C] [F] [G] [C]
Growing old is my only dan - ger
