WHEN I’M 64 – The Beatles

[C] / [Cm] / [G] / [E7]/ [A] / [D] / [G] (last 2 lines of verse 1)

[G]When I get older losing my hair, many years from [D] now, Will you still be sending me a Valentine? Birthday greetings, [G]bottle of wine?

If I'd been out to quarter to three [G7] Would you lock the [C] door? Will you still [Cm] need me, [G]will you still [E7] feed me,

[A] When I'm [D] sixty-[G]four? [Em] / [Em] / [D] / [Em] / (tune as 2 lines below starting “Every summer…”)

Doing the garden, digging the weeds, [G7] Who could ask for [C] more? Will you still [Cm] need me, [G]will you still [E7] feed me,

[A] When I'm [D] sixty-[G]four? [Em] Ev'ry summer we could rent a [Em] cottage in the Isle of [D] Wight, If it's not too [Em] dear [Em] We shall [Em] scrimp and [B7] save [B7] [Em] /[Em] Grandchildren [Am] on your knee [Am] [C] Vera, [D] Chuck and [G] Dave [D7] [G] Send me a post-card, drop me a line, Stating point of [D] view

Indicate precisely what you mean to say, Yours sincerely [G]wasting away

Give me your answer fill in a form, [G7] Mine forever [C] more Will you still [Cm] need me, [G]will you still [E7] feed me,

[A] When I'm [D] sixty-[G]four?
