Hey John,
Been a big XTC/Martin Newell fan for decades now but just now getting
around to transcribing some chords / tablature. Here's my take on "Wow,
Look at that Old Man". Working now on "Dawn Smile.
Also just sent you a friend request on Facebook.
Thanks for all your hard work bringing us Chalkhills and Newell's site,
Dan Cahillane

Wow! Look at that Old Man


D       Bm      G       A       X2
D       Bm      G       A       D       A

D       Bm      G       A       D       Bm
Wow..., look at that old man
G       A       D       Bm      Em      F#
Watch him go now, bombing 'round the town in any kind of weather,
Bm      G       A
Dressed in skinny jeans and leather
D       Bm      G       A       D       Bm
and Wow..., look at that old man
G       A       D       Bm      Em      F#
How'd you like that? Is he Rock 'n Roll or is he rock and rolling,
Bm      G       A
When he should be quietly bowling?
                G       F#      Bm
       and Wow..., look at that old man
       Bm               G
       Do you think that you'll
       G                A
       be so impossibly cool?

D       Bm      G       A       D       Bm
Wow..., look at that old man
G       A       D       Bm      Em      F#
Just watch him go now.  Speeding on a bicycle with gray hair flying
Bm      G       A
And the fear of ever dying!
D       Bm      G       A       D       Bm
and Wow..., look at that old man.
G       A       D       Bm      Em      F#
You might think that, now he is so senior he'd be quite gentle
Bm                      G       A
Who would guess he'd be as mental?

                G       F#      Bm
       and Wow..., look at that old man
       Bm               G
       Look at that old man
       G                A
       Catch him if you can.

D       Bm      G       A
Wow..., look at that old man
Wow..., look at that old man
Wow..., look at that old man
D       Bm      G       F#
Bm              G               A
