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
