	Did I	see you	down in a	young girl's	town with your mother in so much	pain?

	G	A	Bm	E	D
I was	almost	there at the	top of the	stairs with her	screamin' in the rain

	D	A	G	D	A
	Did she wake you	up to	tell you	that it was only a change of	plan?

When I'm Sixty-Four

Beatles

Chords: G D7 G7 C Eb7 E7 A7 Em D B7

	G	D7
	When I get older, losing my hair, many years from	now,

	G
will you still be senting me a Valentine, birthday greetings,	bottle of wine?

	G7	C
If I'd been out 'till quarter to three,	would you lock the	door?

	Eb7	G	E7	A7
Will you still	need me,	will you still	feed me,	when

	D7	G
I'm	sixty-	four?

	Em	D	Em
	Hmm------	mmm------	mmmh.

	Em	B7
	You'll be older,	too.

	Em	Am	C	D7	G
	Aaah, and if you	say the word,	I could	stay with	you.

I could be handy, mending a fuse, when your lights have gone.

You can knit a sweater by the fireside, sunday mornings, go for a ride.

Doing the garden, digging the weeds, who could ask for more?

Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I'm sixty four?

Every summer we can rent a cottage in the Isle of Wight if it's not to dear.

We shall scrimp and save.

Ah, grandchildren on your knee, Vera, Chuck, and Dave.

Send me a postcard, drop me a line stating point of view.

Indicate precisely what you mean to say, yours sincerely wasting away.

Give me your answer, fill in a form, mine forever more.

Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I'm sixty four?

But if you	leave me to love an	other,

	E	A
You will regret it	all some	day,

Repeat Chorus

You told me once dear, you really loved me,
