When I'm Sixty Four original (In the key of C major)

From Wikipedia:
The song is in the key of D-flat major. The Beatles recorded the song in C major but the master take was sped up in order to raise the key by one semitone at the insistence of McCartney. Martin remembers that McCartney suggested this change in order to make his voice sound younger. McCartney says, "I wanted to appear younger, but that was just to make it more rooty-tooty; just lift the key because it was starting to sound turgid."

Someone put up the lyrics please. I am now happy to be 60 and I hope to shoot past 64 some day.

Who knew Ringo would be the handsom one?!

I'm pretty sure the original mono mix of the album offers the song in this correct tempo, or close to it.

Paul's voice sounds much more "Natural" in this one, I think I prefer this.

This is good, but I prefer the faster version.

@dmzusa when i heard the sped up version i wasnt even sure who sang it. I can tell its paul in this version. its more personal i think

@willscomix Yeah.."Peace and love peace and love"...Translated "F you F you". Not Richie's brightest moment.
