Life Begins At 40 Cifras

[Verse 1]
A
Well I was feeling rather cheeky, so I went down to this discotheque
                                                              E
I was rockin' in the corner with a pretty little thing called Beck
         A
She had one hand on me shoulder, the other on me arm
         D
I could see she was succumbing to my old-fashioned charm
         A                          E                        A
When a bloke who was bigger than a ten-tonne digger threw me out
 
[Chorus]
(and I told him)
D
"Life begins at forty
                             A
You wonder why you feel so naughty
     D                                                  A
You may be getting on, but you can't stop shaking your feet
      D                                              A
Your body sure is willing  even though your back is killing
     D                     E                         A
You may be forty, but you can't stop rocking to the beat"

Well, I saw Mick Jagger, he was 40-odd thе other day
                                                         E
He was on the tеlevision tryna keep those pretty girls away
      A
So I went back stage, and I took him by the arm
          D
I said, "Look here, Mick, you need a bodyguard?"
        A                           E                         A
When a bloke who was bigger than a ten-tonne digger threw me out
 
[Chorus]
(and I told him)
D
"Life begins at forty
                            A

     D                                                  A
You may be getting on, but you can't stop shaking your feet
      D                                              A
Your body sure is willing  even though your back is killing
     D                     E                         A
You may be forty, but you can't stop rocking to the beat"

It was getting much later, so I thought I better go on home
                                                      F#
You see, my poor old wife, she was lying in our bed alone
      B
So I opened up the front door, tiptoed up the steps
E
Thought I would surprise her with a kiss on the lips
         B                          F#                       B
When a bloke who was bigger than a ten-tonne digger threw me out
 
[Chorus]
(and she told me)
E
"Life begins at forty
                            B
You wonder why you feel so naughty
     E                                                   B
You may be getting on, but you can't stop shaking your feet
      E                                                B
Your body sure is willing  even though your back is killing
     E                     F#                        B
You may be forty, but you can't stop rocking to the beat"

E                          F#                        B
You may be forty, but you can't stop rocking to the beat
            E                     F#                        B
I said you may be forty, but you can't stop rocking to the beat
