(Same as above)
We're too old to worry

It keeps them satisfied
There's no need now to worry
I'll still be here tomorrow

Notes:
1. The chordal structure of the principal riff, is built around the C/G chord
and it's variants.
2. Although, the chords are coloured by alternate fingering, you may wish to
simplify it by using the root chord. Unfortunately, it won't have the weight of the original progressions.
