Em Am #1…When the pipes leak, when the bones creak, #2…When the joints ache, when the hips break, Em C When the knees go bad, When the eyes go dim, C Am G C I simply remember my favorite things, And then I remember the great life I’ve had, Am G And then I don’t feel so sad. (…to green) And then I don’t feel so grim.
