"Ain't It a Bitch Gettin' Old!"

The jams got side-tracked today as sometimes it's good just to screw around to discover what happens ... and this did but the GOP debate did not:

I get up three times a night  (Am)
just to take a leak (D C)
My nose has so much sun (Am)
it's becoming a beak (C)
Everything I've got  (Am)
is falling apart (D C)

Ain't it a bitch gettin' old! (D x 4)

Play it, blues monkey!


Read that as huge irony because how much of a bitch could it be when you're playing guitar and singing about it.

So that felt kind of swell and there was a bit of "I Love Rats" after that which is nothing but speedball guitar playing for the sheer rat love hell of it.

That "Ain't It a Bitch Getting Old" might get worked up into something but there's not a strong to drive to do it because, no matter what I do with it, the song will still be three-chord blues.  That's more interesting for the lyrics than for the play and it could definitely be fun working up more lyrics along that theme.  When so many are whining relentlessly about their Boomer maladies, ain't a thing wrong with hooting at that.  If you're not willing to stand up and play, yo' ass is already dead.
