    The Beatles - When I'm Sixty-Four

    Uploaded by

    Vilmos Gáti
    The Beatles song "When I'm Sixty Four" is about aging and a couple reflecting on their relationship as they get older. The singer asks his partner if they will still be together when he turns sixty-four - will she still send him cards, need him, and feed him. He imagines them retired together, mending things and gardening. He hopes they can still rent a cottage together with their grandchildren when older.

    [F]Vera, [G]Chuck and [C]Dave. (instrumental) [G]

    [C]Send me a postcard, drop me a line
