Banjo tuned E, no capo, key of A


    A                 D
I am a man of seventy-eight
                              A
And today, I met a man ninety-four
           D                          A
Never knew him, till he walked thru the door
         E    E7      A
Yeah, he was ninety-four

    A                       D
Shoemaker, Shumacher, was his name
                    A
In to see his cardiologist
                       E
About his brand new pace-maker
                  E7   A
Just installed the other day

   A                         D
He re-newed his  driver's license
             A
One day last week
                           E
And the way he handled his blackberry,
                    E7        A
I'd say he was on a winning streak

Just think, I was about to roll over
At my tender age of seventy eight
Till this feller made himself known
I was about to sucumb to my fate

He was born in 1917, I was 1932
My war was the one in Korea
His war was Europe WW II
We both survived the depression too

   A                        D
Yes, Mr Shoemaker, thanks to you
                         A
I am looking to 10 or 15 more
             E
I got to get busy
        E        E7        A
Let me out that swinging door
