Age Like Wine

Todd Snider


Tom: E

A
Old timer
D
Old timer
     A                     E
It's too late to die young now
A
Old timer
D
Five-and-dimer
           A                          E   A
Tryin' to find a way to age like wine somehow


[Verse 1]
   A                            D
My new stuff is nothing like my old stuff was
    A                         E
And neither one is much when compared to the show
           A                      D
Which will not be as good as some other one you saw
   A                            E   A
So help, me, I know, I know, I know


[Chorus]
   A
I am an old timer
D
Old timer
        A                  E
It's too late to die young now
 A
Old timer
 D
Five-and-dimer
          A                           E     A
Tryin' to find a way to age like wine somehow


[Verse 2]
         E                                 A
I've met every fool that ever signed their name up on these walls
       E                                  A
In the backs of all these beer joints and concert halls
               E                    E
I been through seven managers, five labels
   A
A thousand picks and patch cables
      D
Three vans, a band, a bunch of guitar stands
    E
And cans and cans and cans of beer
    D
And bottles of boozes and bags of pot
      E
And a thousand other things that I forgot
  B7
I thought that I be dead by now
         E
But I'm not
