Old Paul Simon
The first time I[A] heard â??Peggy Sueâ??[D] [A]
[A]I was twelve [E]years [A]old
[A]Russians up in r[D]ocket [A]ships
[A]And the war [E]was [A]cold
[A]Now many wars have [D]come and gone
[E]Genocide [A]still goes on
[F#m]Buddy Holly [D]still goes on
But his [A]catalog [E]was [A]sold
[A]First time I smo[D]ked Guess [A]whatâ??
[A]Pa[E]ra[A]noid.
[A]First time I heard â[D]??Sati[A]sfactionâ??
[A]I was young and [E]unem[A]ployed
[A]Down the decades [D]every year
[E]Summer leaves and my [A]birthdayâ??s here
[F#m]And all my friends stand [D]up and cheer
And say, â[A]??Man[E], youâ?[A]?re oldâ??
Getting [D]old
[G]Old
Youâ??re gettin[C]g old[F] [E]
We celebrate the birth of Jesus on Christmas Day
And Buddha found nirvana along the lotus way
About 1,500 years ago the messenger Mohammed spoke
And his wisdom like a river flowed
Through hills of gold
Wisdom is old
The Koran is old
The Bible is old
Greatest story ever told
Disagreementsâ??
Work â??em out
The human race has walked the earth for 2.7 million
And we estimate the universe at 13â??14 billion
When all these numbers tumble into your imagination
Consider that the Lord was there before creation
God is old
Weâ??re not old
God is old
He made the mold
