       LEAD-IN: ( Bm  A ) ( G  A )  D  D
       
        D                      G
    For tonight I've invited a small tasteful crowd
        A                  D
an' the rest of the county too.
        D                            G
for the finest twenty-ninth birthday I've ever had
      ( F#m7          G )         D
  an' I sure would be glad to see you.

CHORUS:
      G
   So join us as we fill the floor,
      A
 come twist and shout and party for
      Bm7            Bm7
 this   milestone of mine.
      G
   We got a lot of hell to make
      A             
  an' just one night to celebrate
    ( Bm             A7 )
      turnin' twenty-nine
    ( G         A )          D        D7
        for the twenty-ninth time.


Although I ain't forgettin' I've already spent
 fifty-seven odd years on this earth,
long as others keep gettin' themselves born again,
 I'll keep movin' the year of my birth.

CHORUS:
So join us as we fill the floor,
 come twist and shout and party for
 this milestone of mine.
We got a lot of hell to make
 an' just one night to celebrate
 turnin' twenty-nine
 for the twenty-ninth time.


BRIDGE:
G                          G
Studied for decades what's healthy for me
D                 D
Diet an' exercise seem to be key:
  E                        E
A diet of Lone Star as I'm dancin' an then
A                      A7
moderate exercise with vigorous men.


Now nothin' takes the sting of agin' away
 quite like a youth like you.
An' my neighbor's out of town, an' the caterer's gay,
 so I'm pretty sure you're gonna do.

CHORUS:
When all the other guests have parted
 you and I 'll start a party
 of another kind.
We got a lot of love to make
 an' just one night to celebrate
 turnin' twenty-nine
 for the twenty-ninth time.
