G       D7           G
Darlin' I am growin' older mmm
D7                       G
Silver threads among the gold
G      D7            G
Shine upon my brow today mmm
D7                   G
Life is fading fast away
 
D7                      G
But my darlin' you will be as you will be
A7                       D7
Always young and fair to me
G      D7               G
Yes my darlin' you will be
D7                       G
Always young and fair to me
 
G         D7             G
When your hair is silver white
D7                         G
And your cheeks' no longer bright
G        D7           G
With the roses of the May mmm
D7                        G
I will kiss your lips and say

D7                    G
Oh! My darling, mine alone, alone
A7                   D7
You have never older grown
G       D7             G
Yes, my darling, mine alone
D7                   G
You have never older grown

A        E7              A
Love can never more grow old
E7                             A 
Locks may lose their brown and gold
A          E7              A  
Cheeks may fade and hollow grow
E7                            A
But the hearts that love will know.

E7                         A
That, my darling, you will be, will be
B7                       E7
Always young and fair to me
A       E7                A
Yes, my darling, you will be
E7                       A
Always young and fair to me.
E7                       A
Always young and fair to me...
