Old Soldiers Never Die

C	G7	C
There is an old cook house	not far	away,

	G7	C
Where we get sweet damn all	three times	a day.

F	C
Ham and eggs we	never see, damn all sugar in our tea,

F	C	G7	C
As we are	gradually	fading	away.

Chorus:

C	G7	C
Old soldiers never	die, never die,	never die,

Old soldiers never die,

G7	C
They just fade	away.

(An alternate chorus left over from the
Eisenhower administration)
Old golfers never die, never die, never die,
Old golfers never die—
They just lose their balls.
