20 Years Gone

A

                             D              A
Don't ask a string picker to play when he's drinkin'
                                          E
Don't ask an old wino for a glass of red wine
      A                    D           A                                       E      A
Don't ask a young lady for her hand in marriage until you've been courtin' for many a time

E                      D             A                                                               E
Banded young ladies to roll with the changes to be there for the good times even though they've done wrong
    A                         D           A
The way that I see it there's forty years comin'
                                          E            A
Oh but the way I've been livin' it's been twenty years gone

                               D            A
I've been out swing dancin' to live western music
                                         E
I've been a hearse driver for many of my own
    A                        D               A
But former his work when you know that she's drinkin'
                               E           A
And to later his work when you know how to smile

E                      D             A                                                               E
Banded young ladies to roll with the changes to be there for the good times even though they've done wrong
    A                         D           A
The way that I see it there's forty years comin'
                                          E            A
Oh but the way I've been livin' it's been twenty years gone

                                 D           A
As sharp as the plowshare and as hard as the mornin'
                                    E
A gentleman's livin' has never been true
   A                        D               A
So keep up your earnin' and bring down your spendin'
                                E          A
Fore sweet mother nature puts a hurtin' on you

E                      D             A                                                               E
Banded young ladies to roll with the changes to be there for the good times even though they've done wrong
    A                         D           A
The way that I see it there's forty years comin'
                                          E            A
Oh but the way I've been livin' it's been twenty years gone

E                      D             A                                                E
Banded young ladies to roll with the changes to take them out dancin' and sing them a song
    A                         D           A
The way that I see it there's forty years comin'
                                           E         A
Oh but the way I've been livin' don't feel twenty at all
