Glen Campbell - Fate of man

^CPity a man, for ^Ghe don't know, the t^Amrouble he'll ^D7pass going ^Gdown life's road

^GWhen a man is one and twenty, he thinks he ^Cknows it all; He can't see^D7 down the road of life ^Gwhere he'll ever fall. But fall he will, as he ^Ctravels through life. With ^Amall it's pitfalls, ^D7troubles and strife. ^GNow, at fifty, he's going ^Creal strong. He has ^D7him a family and a^G nice little home; But old age is creepin' up his ^Cspine, and the day is ^Dcomin' when the s^Gun won't shine. ^GNow, at sixty, he won't ^Chave to guess; He's ^D7already missed the boat ^Gthat leads to success; But he's done his best and he ^Ccan't see why, the ^Amfame of life j^D7ust passed him by. N^Gow at seventy, he can see ^Cthe light and ^D7he knows he's ^Gnever

^Cand now, all he can ^Ddo is to ^Gsit and sigh. Chorus 2

^CPity a man, for ^Ghe don't know, the ^Amtrouble he'll ^D7pass going ^Gdown life's road.

^GNow at eighty, he's ready ^Cfor the reath. He's wore o^D7ut his hair and ^Gtwo sets of teeth; He has rheumatism in his hands^C and feet, ^Amand nothin' s^D7eems good to eat. ^GSo you can pity him as he goes ^Cup the line. As he ^D7wobbles on the spindle and^G he's almost blind. And you can tell by the way that he travels alone^C, that it won't be long ^Dbefore he's goin' ^Ghome. But if he's kept the commandments as he's traveled ^Cthrough life, he'll have a ^D7home in Heaven where there'll ^Gbe no strife. He's worked all his life to get things the ^Cway he wants them; He comes here against^Am his will ^D7and he goes away ^Gdisappointed.
