F#mC#FDBmD (x2)
F#mC#FD
There are many things that I would be proud of
BmD
If I'd only invented them such as the wheel
F#mC#FD
The washing machine and the tumble dryer
BmD
On these inventions surely I could retire
F#mC#FD
I want to retire, no longer required
BmD
I want to get by without the man on my back
F#mC#FDA tear in my eye, with a heart full of pride
BmD
I must go out on a high, and tell nobody why
F#mC#EB (x2)
F#mC#FD
There are many things that I know I could do
BmD
If I'd only have wanted to, such as create
The perfect soulmate everyone would admire
On this creation surely I could retire
I want to retire, no longer required
I want to get by without the man on my back
A tear in my eye, with a heart full of pride
I must go out on a high, and not to answer to why
I want to retire, inform the suppliers
I'll leave the party in style, and not to be carried out
Without a cloud in the sky, I got my fingers in pies
A golden watch on my side, will measure my free time
F#mC#EB (x8)
F#mC#FD
Now my place in history is surely assured
BmD
I will be remembered here forever more
Brand new product in place and a potential buyer
Up on this next transaction surely I could retire
I want to retire, no longer required
I want to get by without the man on my back
A tear in my eye, with a heart full of pride
I must go out on a high, and not to answer to why
I want to retire, inform the suppliers
I'll leave the party in style, and not to be carried out
Without a cloud in the sky, I got my fingers in pies
A golden watch on my side, will measure my free time
