old people in the cemetery

Bmaj7 C#maj7     Bmaj7 C#maj7

what must they be thinking of

Bmaj7 C#maj7     Bmaj7 C#maj7

must be frightening must be scary

Bmaj7 C#maj7     Bmaj7 C#maj7

to visit the grave of a close friend

    B6                                B6/A

who was the same age as you when they died there's nothing precious about

Bmaj7 C#maj7     Bmaj7 C#maj7

old people in the cemetery

Bmaj7 C#maj7     Bmaj7 C#maj7

reciting bible passages

Bmaj7 C#maj7     Bmaj7 C#maj7

unprepared to come to terms with

Bmaj7 C#maj7     Bmaj7 C#maj7

the fact that we're all food for worms

            B6                                     B6/A

why do they think a prayer could make a difference now there's nothing sadder than

Bmaj7 C#maj7     Bmaj7 C#maj7

an old woman in the cemetery

Bmaj7 C#maj7     Bmaj7 C#maj7

picking leaves off of her husband's tomb

Bmaj7 C#maj7     Bmaj7 C#maj7

knowing that her only wish is

Bmaj7 C#maj7     Bmaj7 C#maj7

that she will die and join him soon

        B6                       B6/A

it's so sad to see them all just wither away there's nothing sadder then 

Bmaj7 C#maj7     Bmaj7 C#maj7

old people like that

Dm         A         D

it must be hard to relate

          G

after the world of your youth

Gm  F#m Bmaj7 C#maj7  

totally evaporates

Bmaj7 C#maj7     Bmaj7 C#maj7

old men in the cemetery

Bmaj7 C#maj7     Bmaj7 C#maj7 

looking like faint shadows of the dead

Bmaj7 C#maj7     Bmaj7 C#maj7

gazing down at mother's plot

Bmaj7 C#maj7     Bmaj7 C#maj7

and longing to be there instead

       B6                                    B6/A

it's a dreary fate and no one should have to be as depressing

Bmaj7 C#maj7     Bmaj7 C#maj7

as old people like that
