Rab Noakes - Too Old To Die


CAPO: 3rd Fret







[INTRO:] C Em Am C Dm F G

[VERSE 1:]
 C     Em   Am  C
I wear the face of every man
   Dm F      G
And I see with other's eyes
 C    Em     Am   C
I have no vice and I have no plans
   Dm     F     G
Have no certain colour or size

[VERSE 2:]
  F      G    C ~ Am
My brother is a wild sea sailor
  F      G    C
My sister is an organised poem
 F    G      C ~ Am
My father is a working shaman
  Dm7  F  G
And I am a man alone___


[CHORUS:]
  F G       C ~ Am  F
But I'm not going to lay down
    G   C
I'm not going to cry
G        F     G
I'm not going to stay down
      C
I'm too old to die


[VERSE 3:]
       Em   Am    C
And to work is not my problem
  Dm F     G
To die is not my goal
C  Em    Am C
Love is not my money
   Dm   F   G
This world is not my foal


[VERSE 4:]
  F     G   C ~ Am
I've fought on every battlefield
   F G    C
That anyone can name
F      G     C    ~   Am
I've fought against my friends and myself
  Dm7 F      G
And I  accept the blame___


[CHORUS:]
  F G       C ~ Am  F
But I'm not going to lay down
    G   C
I'm not going to cry
G        F     G
I'm not going to stay down
      C
I'm too old to die


[VERSE 5:]
      Em     Am   C
I'm present at your conventions
 Dm  F      G
I follow the path of time
 C    Em     Am C
I have to lose your inventions
  Dm      F       G
The gains and the losses are all mine


[VERSE 6:]
  F     G    C ~  Am
I've read the books of every man
   F  G    C
And I know some do sing
  F      G     C  ~   Am
It bothers me I do and the very best I can
  Dm7   F        G
The rest is waiting for something___


[CHORUS:]
  F G       C ~ Am  F
But I'm not going to lay down
    G   C
I'm not going to cry
G        F     G
I'm not going to stay down
      C
I'm too old to die
         F     G
I'm not going to stay down
N.C.      F   C
