Too Old To Rock N Roll Too Young To Die by Jethro Tull Too Old To Rock N Roll Too Young To Die Capo:no capo [Intro] Cm Ab Fm Ddim Eb Db F F G [Verse 1] C F C G C Bb The old Rocker wore his hair too long, Am Dm G wore his trouser cuffs too tight. C F C G C Bb Unfashionable to the end --- Am Dm G drank his ale too light. G C G D G F Death's head belt buckle --- yesterday's dreams --- Em Am D the transport caf' prophet of doom. G C G D G F Ringing no change in his double-sewn seams in his Em Am D post-war-babe gloom. [Chorus] Eb F Bb C Bb F Bb F Eb A Dm Now he's too old to Rock'n'Roll but he's too young to die. Eb F Bb C Bb F Bb F Eb Bb F G yes he was too old to Rock'n'Roll but he's too young to die. [Verse 2] C F C G C Bb He once owned a Harley Davidson Am Dm G and a Triumph Bonneville. C F C G C Bb Counted his friends in burned-out spark plugs Am Dm G and prays that he always will. G C G D G F But he's the last of the blue blood greaser boys Em Am D all of his mates are doing time: G C G D G F married with three kids up by the ring road Em Am D sold their souls straight down the line. G C G D G F And some of them own little sports cars Em Am D and meet at the tennis club do's. G C G D G F For drinks on a Sunday --- work on Monday. Em Am D They've thrown away their blue suede shoes. [Chorus] Eb F Bb C Bb F Bb F Eb A Dm Now he's too old to Rock'n'Roll but he's too young to die. Eb F Bb C Bb F Bb F Eb Bb F G yes he was too old to Rock'n'Roll but he's too young to die. Cm Ab Fm Ddim Eb Db F F G [Verse 3] C F C G C Bb So the old Rocker gets out his bike Am Dm G to make a ton before he takes his leave. C F C G C Bb Up on the A-1 by Scotch Corner Am Dm G just like it used to be. G C G D G F And as he flies --- tears in his eyes --- Em Am D his wind-whipped words echo the final take G C G D G F and he hits the trunk road doing around a 120 Em Am D with no room left to brake. [Chorus] Eb F Bb C Bb F Bb F Eb A Dm And he was too old to Rock'n'Roll but he's too young to die. Eb F Bb C Bb F Bb F Eb Bb F No, you're never too old to Rock'n'Roll if you're too young to die. (double-time rock) Bb C F Bb C Eb Bb F And he was too old to Rock'n'Roll but he's too young to die. Bb C Bb F Bb F Eb Bb Cm Ab Fm No, you're never too old to Rock'n'Roll if you're too young to die.
