Chords and lyrics
G G7 C
He awakens early in the morning, when the high fog that will burn off
G D
Later in the day still shades the bluff below Casa Pacifica.
G G7 C
He breakfasts on orange juice and a poached egg served him by the valet
D D7 G
Who still calls him Mr. President.
C D D7
He wanders alone or with his close friend Bebe Rebozo out on Red Beach
G Am D D7
Out of sight of the secret service men, who out of his hearing refer to him
G C D G
As the old man, and try to keep out of his way.
C D D7
Sometimes he rummages through the stacks of unanswered mail,
D7 G
Or disconsolately plays the piano.
Am C D D7
He is terribly depressed, with much to be depressed about.
G G7 C
He awakens early in the morning, when the high fog that will burn off
G D
Later in the day still shades the bluffs below Casa Pacifica.
G G7 C
He breakfasts on orange juice and a poached egg served him by the valet
D D7 G
Who still calls him Mr. President.
