INTRO
| Bbdim7 | G | Bbdim7 | G |
| Bbdim7 | G | Bbdim7 | G Gsus4 G |

VERSE
I'm not the wreck of the Hesperus
Feel more like the Wall of China
Getting [Em/D]old as Methuselah
Feel tall as the Eiffel [Em/D]Tower

INTERLUDE
| Bbdim7 | G | Bbdim7 | G Gsus4 G |

VERSE
I'm not a power of attorney
But I can rock as good as Gibraltar
Ain't no [Em/D]more no spring chicken
Been plucked but I'm still [Em/D]kicking
But it's al – right, it's alright[D/F#]

MIDDLE 8
Poison penmen sneak, have no nerve to speak
Make up lies then they leak 'm out
Behind a pseudonym, the rottenness in them
Reaching out trying to touch me

VERSE
Met some Oscars and Tonys
I slipped on a pavement oyster
Met a [Em/D]snake climbing ladders
Got out of the line of [Em/D]fire
But it's al – right

INTERLUDE
| Bbdim7 | G | Bbdim7 | G |
| Bbdim7 | G | Bbdim7 | G D/F# |

MIDDLE 8
Brainless writers gossip nonsenses
To others heads as dense as they is
It's the [Em/D]same old malady
What they see is faulty

VERSE
I'm not the wreck of the Hesperus
Feel more like Big Bill Broonzy
Getting [Em/D]old as my mother
But I tell you I got some [Em/D]company
Bbdim7 G | Bbdim7 | G Gsus4 G |
But it's al – right

RIFF (no chord)

CODA (solo)
| Bbdim7 | G | Bbdim7 | G |
| Bbdim7 | G | Bbdim7 | G |

But it's al – right, it's alright[D/F#]
But it's al – right, it's alright[D/F#]
