VERSE ONE

C G7

Now you might think that thirty five is just a little too old

C

But I’m not ready yet to be put out in the cold

G7

I’ve got plenty of good love left....woman if you just use it

C

You know the older the violin, the sweeter the music

BRIDGE

C G7

And I can play...a sympho-ny of love

C

like a thousand violins singin’ from above

G7

You’re gonna really miss my lovin’...someday when you lose it

C

You know the older the violin, the sweeter the music

VERSE TWO

C G7

These specks of grey that’s in my hair...just make me look dis-tinguished

C

They don’t mean I’m over the hill...and Babe I’m not ex-tinguished

G7

There’s lots of young girls waitin’ for my love.and Babe they won’t re-fuse it

C

They know the older the violin, the sweeter the music.

BRIDGE

C G7

And I can play...a sympho-ny of love.

C

Like a thousand violins singin’ from above.

G7

You’re gonna really miss my lovin’...one day when you lose it.

C

You know the older the violin, the sweeter the music

BRIDGE

C G7

And I can play...a sympho-ny of love.
