Written by George Harrison

	  		
Intro 
| Bbdim7 | G | Bbdim7 | G | 
| Bbdim7 | G | Bbdim7 | G Gsus4 G   | 


Verse 
G                         C 
 I'm not the wreck of the Hesperus 
G                   C       B 
 Feel more like the Wall of China 
Em       Em7    A 
 Getting old as Methuselah 
B                 Em     Em7 
 Feel tall as the Eiffel Tower 


Interlude 
| Bbdim7 | G | Bbdim7 | G Gsus4 G   | 


Verse 
G                   C 
 I'm not a power of attorney 
G                       C    B 
 But I can rock as good as Gibraltar 
Em        Em7            A 
 Ain't no more no spring chicken 
B                 Em        Em7 
 Been plucked but I'm still kicking 
         Bbdim7 G     Bbdim7  G       D 
But it's al  -  right, it's alright 


Middle 8 
Em                   C7 
 Poison penmen sneak, have no nerve to speak 
Am7                     Em 
 Make up lies then they leak 'm out 
Em                  C7 
 Behind a pseudonym, the rottenness in them 
Am7                     B7 
 Reaching out trying to touch me 


Verse 
G                    C 
 Met some Oscars and Tonys 
G               C        B 
 I slipped on a pavement oyster 
Em     Em7            A 
 Met a snake climbing ladders 
B               Em      Em7 
 Got out of the line of fire 
         Bbdim7 G 
But it's al  -  right 


Interlude 
| Bbdim7 | G | Bbdim7 | G | 
| Bbdim7 | G | Bbdim7 | G D    | 


Middle 8 
Em                 C7 
 Brainless writers gossip nonsenses 
Am7                          Em 
 To others heads as dense as they is 
Em        Em7      A 
 It's the same old malady 
Am7             B7 
What they see is faulty 


Verse 
G                         C 
 I'm not the wreck of the Hesperus 
G               C        B 
 Feel more like Big Bill Broonzy 
Em       Em7       A 
 Getting old as my mother 
B                 Em       Em7 
 But I tell you I got some company 
         Bbdim7 G       | Bbdim7 | G Gsus4 G   | 
But it's al  -  right

         Bbdim7 G     Bbdim7  G       D 
But it's al  -  right, it's alright 
         Bbdim7 G     Bbdim7  G       D 
But it's al  -  right, it's alright
