When I'm Sixty-Four

Words and Music by John Lennon and Paul McCartney

C                                                     G7
When I get older, losing my hair, many years from now
G7
Will you still be sending me a valentine?
(NC)                 C
Birthday greetings?  Bottle of wine?
C                                     C7                 F
If I'd been out till quarter to three would you lock the door?
               Ab       C/G            A7
Will you still need me, will you still feed me
D9       G7    C
When I'm sixty-four?

   Am    G
      Oo...
   Am                  E
      You'll be older, too
   Am                  Dm
      Ah... and if you say the word
   F       G         C   G
   I could stay with you

I could be handy mending a fuse when your lights have gone
You can knit a sweater by the fireside
Sunday morning go for a ride
Doing the garden, digging the weeds: who could ask for more?
Will you still need me, will you still feed me
When I'm sixty-four?

   Am                                                G
   Every summer we can rent a cottage in the Isle of Wight if it's not too dear
   Am                     E
      We shall scrimp and save
   Am               Dm
      Grandchildren on your knee
   F     G          C     G
   Vera, Chuck, and Dave

Send me a postcard, drop me a line, stating point of view
Indicate precisely what you mean to say
Yours sincerely wasting away
Give me your answer, fill in a form; mine forever more
Will you still need me, will you still feed me
When I'm sixty-four?
