Forty And Fading
Recorded by Ray Price [3/4 time]

G D7
He looked in the mirror while he was shaving this morning
G
The lines in his face and the age in his eyes gave a warning
C
As he stands face to face with the man that everyone sees
G
He whispers it's hell to be forty and fading
D7 G
Feeling like you're 23

D7
When the young ladies look they still get that gleam in their eye
G
He's got money to burn but there's one thing he don't have to buy
C
Last night he learned you're as you let yourself be
G
He may look like he's forty and fading
D7 G
She made him feel 23

C
They say it's hell to be forty and fading
G
From now on it's all downhill
A7
But he don't believe it cause life's what's you live it
D7
And he's just beginning to live

G
As long as there's ladies who need a good loving
C
That's where he's gonna be
G
He may look like he's forty and fading
D7 G
But inside he's still 23

D7
He thinks it's a shame that God wasted years on the young
G
Because your life's half over before you learn how it's done
C
Now he's living the life that young man's eyes never see
G
He may look like forty and fading
D7 G
But inside he's still 23

C G
He may look like forty and fading
D7 G
But inside he's still 23
