Grow Old With Me by Mason Jennings
Grow Old With Me
Tuning: D A D G B E
Capo: 2nd fret
As with all Mason I''''m familiar with, all strings are dropped one half step. In
addition, drop the 6th string another step like drop D tuning. You''''ll end up with
C#/G#/C#/F#/A#/D#. Finally, capo on 2nd fret.
The D and E minor chords use all six strings, striking 6th string first as a base note
and then striking the higher note strings in a sort of down down up up down up pattern
where the first two down strikes are the base note. When you play the E minor chord,
add your index finger to the second fret of the 6th string to round it out since you''''re in
drop D.
I think there''''s also a little flourish of some sort on the D chords in the chorus, but I
can''''t figure out what it is.
D
I met a man who was not quite an old man
Amaj7
Said he was an old boy
D
I would make a toast to believe and bet you
Amaj7
That I would be the same old man
D
Not the kind with a lost soul
Amaj7
Who can''''t put down his toys
D
Honey there''''ll be absolute peace in my heart
Amaj7
And resolution in my soul
Em A D
So don''''t, don''''t, darlin'''' don''''t be surprised
Em A D
When I don''''t leave your side
Em
''''Cause there''''s not a single part of my love
A D
That you should not believe
Em
I hope when I grow old
A D
That you grow old with me
D
I begged the pardon of the fullness of somebodies
Amaj7
Because I love the left lane
D
And I begged the pardon of the mass media
Amaj7
You know on Sundays I don''''t go to mass
D
And I tipped my hat to your dog in your yard by your
Amaj7
house, I''''m waiting for a hurricane
D
To blow, blow, blow from the west to the east and tell me
Amaj7 D
who''''s gonna be here last
Em A D
So don''''t, don''''t, darlin'''' don''''t be surprised
Em A D
When I don''''t leave your side
Em
''''Cause there''''s not a single part of my love
A D
That you should not believe
Em
I hope when I grow old
A D
That you grow old with me
Em
I hope when I grow old
A D
That you grow old with me
Em
I hope when I grow old
A D
That you grow old with me
