Helpful advisor: Yes, I think that’s too large an issue to cover in comments.

If one was playing this in an ensemble, you could have some folks picking out the melody, and others coming in with chords; here are the chords from the TMBG wiki. Note that even playing a two-bar fingerpicking pattern with the chord shapes alone makes a pretty good solo version. (sorry the formatting’s not monospaced)

Dm
You’re older than you’ve ever been
Gm
And now you’re even older
Dm
And now you’re even older
A7
And now you’re even older
Dm
You’re older than you’ve ever been
Gm
And now you’re even older
Dm A7 Dm
And now you’re older still

Gm Dm
Time is marching on
Gm A7
And time is still marching on

Glad you like it, amber. Maybe I should include it as part of the Halloween series.

This song creeps me out more than your Halloween songs. It’s the lyrics, I think. I love it.
