Chorus:
[G]Here's to [A]memory, [A7]old age and e[D]very
Here's to the people who [G]live in a [A]shell
[G]Here's to [A]memory, [A7]one more for e[D]very
One for the road where [A7]pedestrians [D]dwell[G][A][D][G][A]
[D]So self-as[G]sured, complacent and bo[D]red
Our hero opens a [A]box on the [D]shelf
Containing advice, so [G]worldly and wi[D]se
Welcomes his children to [A]help themsel[D]ves[G][A][D][G][A]
Chorus
He hasn't time for riddle or rhyme
Too busy fighting machines at the plant
He married young, his path is his pocket
Beginnings and endings escape from this end
Chorus
Baptized, materialized, no time to realise
Caught in the current and drown in the well
Went about fifty, stubborn and empty
Hands out the world for his children to sell
Chorus (2X)
