Thirty-nine And HoldingCifra

G 
He's out there somewhere every night  
C                         G 
Where the music's playing loud  
  
He's doing all those fifty's steps  
A7             D7 
He's in a 1980 crowd  
  
G 
Dim lights hide the mileage line 
    C                 G 
The Clairol hides the gray  
    C                G 
And he won't mention anything  
   D7               G 
To give his old age away  
  
        C               G 
Oh he's thirty-nine and holding 
D7                    G 
Holding everything he can  
     C            G 
From seventeen to twenty-five  
   A7                 D7 
To prove he's still a man  
  
G 
He's holding to a candle  
    C                      G 
And it's a-burning at both ends  
     C               G 
He's thirty-nine and holding  
D7                    G 
Holding everything he can  
  
          
You can bet he'll never see  
C            G 
Thirty-nine again 
  
He should have turned loose long ago  
A7                        D7 
But still he a hanging it in  
  
G 
He still thinks that he's the man  
     C               G 
That he once used to be  
     C               G 
He's thirty-nine and holding  
    D7            G 
And acting twenty-three
