intro
C majorC  E minorEm

C majorC
To my aching glow
           E minorEm
You got a hold of me now...
     C majorC
How you rendered slow
         E minorEm
But harder than hell to my ground

D MajorD
I'm looking for my old mans' shoes
             C majorC
I'm kicking off these old town blues...

C majorC
Don't leave me here
           E minorEm
Cos' I just won't survive
        C majorC
There's a raven hovering
            E minorEm
But a-he's keeping me alive...

D MajorD
I've known him all my life
                C majorC
He's the spirit of a young man mourning
            D MajorD
But like the shadow of a carving knife
                C majorC
He's not the danger but the warning sign

And we're kicking off easy

C majorC
Hey....
            E minorEm
Oh I can't seem to move
  C majorC
I'm paralysed....
        E minorEm
I'm chocking on my holy mood
            D MajorD
Cos I wanna be an old man too
        C majorC
I wanna be a role model to my kids
            D MajorD
I wanna teach them how to love
            C majorC
But you gotta show me how to live
And we're kicking off easy

C majorC         E minorEm
ohhhhhhhh - yheaaa
C majorC         E minorEm
ohhhhhhhh - yheaaa

D MajorD       C majorC
     - yheaaa
D MajorD       C majorC
Oh nooooo- yheaaa
