"Get Older"

From: PMILENSKI@OCVAXA.CC.OBERLIN.EDU

        Here's the Get Older hook to add to the archives.  I don't remember
the chords offhand, but it's in the key of G.  I think
it's G, D, C and Em in some order.  I'm sure you could figure it out in a
few seconds.

E |-----5--------|--------------|
B |---0-----0-2--|-2-3----------|
G |-0-----0------|-----2--------|
D |--------------|-------4-2-0--|
A |--------------|--------------|
E |--------------|--------------|

The opening solo begins:

E |---17--17--17--17|
B |-19--17--16--14--|
G |-----------------|
D |-----------------|
A |-----------------|
E |-----------------|

GET OLDER

      We open with a solo like this...

e|----------12--------12-------12-------12----------------------------
B|----15---------15-------15-------15---------------------------------
G|------------------------------------------------14--12--11--12--14--
D|--------------------------------------------------------------------

e|-----------------------------------------
B|-----------------------------------------
G|-----------------11-h-12--11-------------
D|----14--14-----------------------14--12--

        G         D                            G        
Who cares If they don't think your cool?
                 D                      G
They make everything about rules 

       The "Tabulated" part for this G to D sequence looks like this

      G                             D
e  |------------5-----------------------------------------------|
B  |-------0-----------0----3----2-h-3--------------------------| and repeat...
G  |-0-------------0--------------2-------2---------------------|
D  |---------------------------------------------4----2-----0---|

              D                    A
And your older than that now
       G
Get older
                    Em           D 
The world will fall into its place
                   A
You may be sad 
                     G
When you get older 
                     Em              D
You might be happy just to stay

          In the chorus I use some power chords.  like this...

        A5              A2    G5                     G7
e |---------------------------------------------------------|
B |---------------------------------------------------------|
G |---------------------------------------------------------|
D |----7----7--------7--7--7--5----5--5--5----5----5--------|
A |----7----7--------7--7--7--5----5--5--5----5----5--------|
E |----5----5--------5--7--5--3----3--3--3----3----2--------|  

        Em                      D5
e |----------0----0--------0--------------------------|
B |----------0----0--------0----3----3----3-----------|
G |----------0----0----0--0----2----2----2------------|
D |----2----2----2----4--2----0----0----0-------------|
A |----2----2----2----2--2----------------------------|
E |----0----0----0----0--0----------------------------|  


        G          D                                 G
Who cares if you don't know what you want
           D                                       G
Cause they don't know what they've got 
       D                A
And you cannot resist
       G
Get older 
                 Em                 D
Your memories won't slip away
                    A
And you'll be glad 
                     G
When you get older 
                     Em             D
That you were happy for today
        G
Who cares?

   (Solo)  and it goes something like this...

e|-----------------------------------------12----14----17--17-------
B|----12----12--12--12--14----15------------------------------------
G|------------------------------------------------------------------

e|------------------------------------------------------------------

B|--12---------12--------s-17-------17-------17--15--15-15-h-17----17b--r--15-
G|----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Don't forget to repeat the two choruses now!

G           D                                  G             
           If you don't know what you want
   D                                  G  
If you don't know what you want
   D                                  G
If you don't know what you want
   D                                  G
If you don't know what you want

        Here's an alternate rythmn hook for these final repeating verses...

      G                             D
e  |-------------5----------------------------------------------|
B  |--------0-----------0----3----2-h-3---3--3--3--2--3---------| and repeat...
