The timing should be right, 1/8 note equals to 0---, 1/16 to 0- etc.)
I've used two .s to indicate the repeat mark in the notes, I hope it doesn't
bother you
Slowly ( 0--- =69 )

Additional Lyrics:
2. They dedicate their lives to running all of his
He tries to please them all, this bitter man he is
Throughout the life the same, he's battled constantly
This fight he cannot win. A tired man they see no longer cares.
The old man then prepares to die regretfully
That old man here is me. (To Chorus)
