Naomi Acordes

[Intro]
C  Am  F  G
 
[Verse 1]
C                G
Age has made her frail
               F             G
I'm scared to take her in my arms
Am                  Em
But there's an understanding now
      F                C
And a peace behind the eyes
     F             C
And age is for complaining
         Dm7               C
But you won't hear much from me
         G        F  C
Growing old with Naomi
 
 
[Verse 2]
C                G
Now I recall the first time
    F             G
I took her in my arms
Am                  Em
At times I was unfaithful
      F                C
She said: "no future in the past"
     F             C
So we don't talk about it
        Dm7               C
She keeps a gentle edge on me
          G           F       C
I don't mind growing old with Naomi
 
 
[Chorus]
F                  G
She wasn't all I wanted
          Am    Em      F
But she's all I'll ever need
       C                G
Oh, a rich man always wants some more
        F        G
And I was rich indeed
   F              C
A rich man and a poor fool
        Dm           C
Yet it turned out right for me
      C            G
How lucky can you get?
          F         C
Growing old with Naomi
 
 
[Verse 3]
     C                 G
The kids today, they think that they've
    F           G
Discovered everything
     Am           Em
But me and her, well we'd done it all
   F                C
Without a wedding ring
    F             C
Sometimes things remind us
     Dm7             C
And she's smiling back at me
          G           F         C
It ain't hard growing old with Naomi
 
 
[Chorus]
F                  G
She wasn't all I wanted
          Am     Em      F
But she's all I'll ever need
       C                G
Oh, a rich man and a poor fool
        F        G
And I was rich indeed
         F             C
I never thought her beautiful
          Dm7           C
But I do now, 'cause I see
            G
I'm getting wiser
         F         C
Growing old with Naomi
 
 
[Verse 4]
     C                 G
Oh, the place is kind of quiet now
    F           G
The kids have all left home
      Am          Em      G
We'd like to see more of them
             F                C
But we're grateful when they call
     F                  C
And in the quietness afterwards
     Dm7           C
She comes and sits by me
                    G
Make me feel like a man
          F       C
Growing old with Naomi
                    G
Make me feel like a man
        F         C
Growing old with Naomi
