George Harrison - Wreck of the Hesperus: chords

G                         C
I'm not the wreck of the Hesperus
G                   C       B
Feel more like the Wall of China
Em      Em/D       A
Getting old as Methuselah
B                 Em     Em/D
Feel tall as the Eiffel Tower

G                   C
I'm not a power of attorney
G                       C    B
But I can rock as good as Gibraltar
Em        Em/D           A
Ain't no more no spring chicken
B                 Em        Em/D
Been plucked but I'm still kicking
         A#dim7 G    A#dim7     G D/F#
But it's al  - right, it's alright

Em                 C7
Poison penmen sneak, have no nerve to speak
Am7                     Em
Make up lies then they leak 'm out
Em                C7
Behind a pseudonym, the rottenness in them
Am7                     B7
Reaching out trying to touch me

Met some Oscars and Tonys
I slipped on a pavement oyster
Met a snake climbing ladders
Got out of the line of fire
(But it's alright)

Brainless writers gossip nonsenses
To others heads as dense as they is
It's the same old malady
What they see is faulty

I'm not the wreck of the Hesperus
Feel more like Big Bill Broonzy
Getting old as my mother
But I tell you I got some company
(But it's alright)

But it's alright, it's alright
But it's alright, it's alright
It's alright, alright, it's alright
