A
Spend my whole time listening to old guys
                          A*
To figure which way to go
B7
Whether to hang my guitar high
Dmaj7            A     A* A
Or how you drag a smoke

Cos they look justified when drinking like
They've earned each swig and shot
Whether the day's best worth remembering
Or the one's best left forgot

CHORUS
E
I just don't take advice that hasn't been battered around
      F#m                            B7
Like a gladstone bag in the rain all forgotten about
      A                           B7 Dmaj7 A
So I'm taking all my cues from the old-er guys

Old Ted used to do a good stand low and bowl a good leg cut
Sometimes I wish he was still around to clip me when I'm fucking up
He'd sit out on the back porch, all cardigan and frown
Drinking long necks of DA and the cowgirl song's coming down
    A                           B7 Dmaj7 A
I'm taking all my cues from the old-er guys

Standing outside my local on a cold old Anzac Day
And I just don't seem to care if I drown out in the rain
Because they look through me like a sheet of glass, like the first window in a house
And I wonder if they've been lived in or if they've been torn down

(CHORUS CHORDS)

Just cos I steal the suits
And walk like I'm fifty-five sometimes
I just don't have the nuts to sit with the older guys
So I'm taking all my cues from all those older guys
