......The older the violin, the sweeter the music
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
