9
In my rehearsals for retirement
10
The lights are cold again they dance below me
11
I turn to old friends they do not know me

All but the beggar he remembers

I put a penny down for payment

F#m E
18
I tell my daughter it doesn't matter
19
The stage is tainted with empty voices
20
The ladies painted they have no choices
21
I take my colors from the stable
22
They lie in tatters by the tournament
23
In my rehearsals for retirement
24
Where are the armies who killed a country
25
And turned a strong man into a baby
26
No comes the rabble they are welcome
27
I wait in anger and amusement
28
In my rehearsals for retirement
29
Had I known the end would end in laughter
30
Still I tell my daughter that it doesn't matter
31
Farewell my own true love, farewell my fancy
32
Are you still owin' me love, though you failed me
33
But one last gesture for her pleasure
34
I'll paint your memory on the monument
35
In my rehearsals for retirement
