The first time I heard ?Peggy Sue? 

A            E     A 
I was twelve years old 

A               D     A 
Russians up in rocket ships 

A           E   A 
And the war was cold 

A                  D    
Now many wars have come and gone 

E        A 
Genocide still goes on 

F#m         D 
Buddy Holly still goes on 

        A       E   A 
But his catalog was sold 


A               D         A 
First time I smoked Guess what?  
A E A 
Paranoid. 
A                   D     A 
First time I heard ?Satisfaction? 

A               E   A 
I was young and unemployed 

A                D 
Down the decades every year 

E                    A 
Summer leaves and my birthday?s here 

F#m                      D 
And all my friends stand up and cheer 

          A    E      A 
And say, ?Man, you?re old? 

        D 
Getting old 

G 
Old 

               C    F  E 
You?re getting old 



We celebrate the birth of Jesus on Christmas Day 
And Buddha found nirvana along the lotus way 
About 1,500 years ago the messenger Mohammed spoke 
And his wisdom like a river flowed 
Through hills of gold 
Wisdom is old 
The Koran is old 
The Bible is old 
Greatest story ever told 

Disagreements? 
Work ?em out 

The human race has walked the earth for 2.7 million 
And we estimate the universe at 13?14 billion 
When all these numbers tumble into your imagination 
Consider that the Lord was there before creation 
God is old 
We?re not old 
God is old 
He made the mold
