WHEN I'M SIXTY-FOUR
(Lennon-McCartney)
1967


The first track on Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club band to be 
completed, Paul wrote the song at the age of 16, but dusted it down in 
honour of his father's sixty-fourth birthday.



C#                                                    G#7
      When I get older losing my hair many years from now

Will you still be a sending me a Valentine

Birthday greetings, bottle of wine
C#                                                     F#
If I'd been out to quarter to three would you lock the door
               A7       C#             Bb
Will you still need me, will you still feed me
Eb       G#    C#
When I'm sixty-four



Bbm      G#    Bbm
    (Ooh)
                F7
You'll be older too
(Ah)
Bbm              Ebm          Fm F#      G#        C#
      And if you say the word    I could stay with you



                                                      G#7
I could be handy mending a fuse when your lights have gone

You can knit a sweater by the fire side

Sunday mornings go for a ride
C#                                                     F#
Doing the garden, digging the weeds, who could ask for more
               A7       C#             Bb
Will you still need me, will you still feed me
Eb       G#    C#
When I'm sixty-four

Every summer we can rent a cottage in the Isle of Wight
                Bbm
If it's not too dear
                    F7      Bbm
We shall scrimp and save
(We shall scrimp and save)
                   Ebm           Fm F#    G#        C#
(Ah) Grandchildren on your knee,    Vera, Chuck and Dave



                                                    G#7

Yours sincerely wasting away
C#                                                F#
Give me your answer, fill in a form, mine forever more
               A7       C#             Bb
Will you still need me, will you still feed me
Eb       G#    C#
