[Intro 1]
[F][C][G][C]

[Verse 1]
My [C]grandparents
[G]used to [C]take us [F]down
to the ice skating show
Oh, at the hockey rink, at the [C]stadium,
when the Blackhawks [G]were on the [C]roll,
we would
They cheered for the [G]clowns
in their cos[C]tumes
And the [F]beautiful figure ballet
Of the former Olympic champi[C]ons
Who would spin on the [G]frozen [C]spray[Am]
But there was one moment
in that [G]whole spectac[D]ular [G]show
When the [F]band would
strike up a [C]quiet waltz
And they'd turn the lights down [F]low
Old smoothies [C]to old [G]people on [C]skates
They were [F]sequenced
[C]septuagenarians
doing the [G]figure [C]eights,
[F]how they'd glide around the arena
so [C]serene and sublime.
[G]The[C]y had[F] been the old smooth[C]ies
for a long, [G]long [C]time.[F][C][F]
[C][G]
[C]Where did [G]they get the [C]stamina
[F]How did they stay in [C]shape
[F]I know that that took a l[C]ion's share
of the [G]liniment, pride, and [C]tape.
My grandparents smiled
[G]as the[C] smoothies would
[F]glide and peer [C]away.
Then [F]Grandpa reached for
[C]Grandma's hands
and Grand[G]ma's eyes got [C]wet.
[Am]The spotlight followed
the smoothies,
[G]circled the [D]ice and [G]bowed.
[F]That must have been twenty [C]years ago,
[G]but I can see [C]it [F]now.
[C]Old smoothies to old [G]people on [C]skates
Se[G]quenced [F]sep[C]tuagenarians
who were doing their [G]figure [C]eights
[F]How they'd glide around the arena
[C]so [G]serene and sub[C]lime
[F]They had been the old [C]smoothies
for a long, [G]long [C]time
[F]They had been the old [C]smoothies
for a long, [G]long [C]time.
Thanks for coming tonight, folks.
Thanks for coming to this
benefit concert.
David Amran, Hugh McDonald,
Corky Siegel,
and Jethro Burns.
Thank Yeah! Woo! Woo!
