F# G#          F# G#

old people in the cemetery

F# G#          F# G#

what must they be thinking of

F# G#            F# G#

must be frightening must be scary

F# G#                F# G#

to visit the grave of a close friend

    B6                                B6/A

who was the same age as you when they died there's nothing precious about

F# G#          F# G#

old people in the cemetery

F# G#       F# G#

reciting bible passages

F# G#      F# G#

unprepared to come to terms with

F# G#                F# G#

the fact that we're all food for worms

            B6                                     B6/A

why do they think a prayer could make a difference now there's nothing sadder than

F# G#            F# G#

an old woman in the cemetery

     F# G#             F# G#

picking leaves off of her husband's tomb

F# G#         F# G#

knowing that her only wish is

F# G#              F# G#

that she will die and join him soon

        B6                       B6/A

it's so sad to see them all just wither away there's nothing sadder then 

F# G#        F# G#

old people like that

Dm         A         D

it must be hard to relate

          G

after the world of your youth

Gm  F#   G#

totally evaporates

F# G#       F# G#

Old men in the cemetery

F# G#                          F# G# 

looking like faint shadows of the dead

F# G#                F# G#

gazing down at mother's plot

F# G#                F# G#

and longing to be there instead

       B6                                    B6/A

it's a dreary fate and no one should have to be as depressing

F# G#           F# G#

as old people like that
