Old man look at my life, I'm a lot like you were. Old man look at my life, Twenty four and there's so much more Live alone in a paradise That makes me think of two. Love lost, such a cost, Give me things that don't get lost. Like a coin that won't get tossed Rolling home to you. Old man take a look at my life I'm a lot like you I need someone to love me the whole day through Ah, one look in my eyes and you can tell that's true. Lullabies, look in your eyes, Run around the same old town. Doesn't mean that much to me To mean that much to you. I've been first and last Look at how the time goes past. But I'm all alone at last. Rolling home to you. Old man take a look at my life I'm a lot like you I need someone to love me the whole day through Ah, one look in my eyes and you can tell that's true. Old man look at my life, I'm a lot like you were. Old man look at my life, I'm a lot like you were. ======================================================================== ======================================================================== Transcription: .=lead-in begin ;=section begin :=section end ,=measure separator (bar line) {=comment/note begin }=comment/note end [=section name begin ]=section name end ?=Fermata Chords: A-G=chord name 2,3,4,5,6,7,9,11,13=note number add=add aug=augmented dim=diminished b=flat #=sharp m=minor maj=major M=major @$%^&*=token for a chord name a-z=more tokens for chord name '=2nd voicing ''=3rd voicing Licks: Ln=lick definition (n=1-9) h=hammer on p=pull off q=rasqueado r=bend and release s=slide t=trill v=bend x=rake or mute Usage: o '.' lead-in to a section o ';' or ':' can substitue for ',' o only chord name, token, lick, or '{}' can lie between ',' or ';' or ':' o anything between '{}' is either a note reference or is user defined o ' '=one beat in [4/4] time; (four spaces) o 'actual' transcription o 'footnote' transcription o 'combination' transcription o 'implied' transcription ========================================================================
