C                      Am 
I've lived long enough to see the dead horse 
           C                              Am  
I've lived long enough to cross swamps at night 
           C                      Am  
I've lived long enough to chase a rat 
           C                         Am  
I've lived long enough to take a jet ride  
 
F             C     F  C  F 
If you see me on an airplane  
                              C      F  C 
just make sure and get out of my way-ay-ay  
G       F      C       G        F        C 
I lived long enough to know the sun will drop 
        G        F        C 
and you ought to leave it lie 
           Am    C      Am  
to see the dying of the pines  
  
I've lived long enough to k*ll my first love  
I've lived long enough to break in and do harm  
I've lived long enough to fly an airplane  
I've lived long enough to break a machine  
  
If you see me on an airplane  
just make sure and get out of my way  
  
I lived long enough to know the sun will drop 
and you ought to leave it lie  
to see the dying of the pines
