Guitar chords When Im Sixty Four

When Im Sixty-Four by The Beatles contemplates aging and enduring love. Mainly written by Paul McCartney as a teenager, well before The Beatles were formed, it was inspired by McCartneys father and a vaudeville style of music. It was one of the first songs recorded for their album Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band, making full use of the advanced recording studio. The song notably features a clarinet ensemble, included at McCartney’s request.
