Chords for KEVIN WELCH - TOO OLD TO DIE YOUNG

[E] _ [N] Alright, so _ _ when _ _ my [E] daughter Savannah was born, _ [N] _ which is 27 years ago, _ _ _ John and [Gbm] I wrote
this little song here [Eb] about that feeling [D] of mortality that you get [F] when you [Ab] start piling
up the kids.
_ And _ [N] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ nowadays, [Ab] Savannah is now, she's grown up and she's in a band [Dm] called the [Gb] Trishes.
_ _ And cool. _
And they [Abm] oftentimes close their shows with this song.
And it's really _ a [A] beautiful and weird [G] thing to see her singing the song that was written for her.
_ Plus, _ she's about six months pregnant.
_ So it's like, [N] you know, _ _ the circle apparently will not be unbroken.
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ And I guess if I'm going to keep singing this song [F] for much longer, I'm going [Gb] to have to
start [N] rewriting the lyrics.

_ _ Death must be the [B] wind. _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] You can _ close your window [A] _ tight, and it [E] _ still comes [B] _ _
blowing [E] in. _ _ _ _
So [A] I will [E] climb the _ _ highest hill, and I'll watch the _ rising _ sun.
[B] _ _ And [E] I pray _ that I won't _ feel [A] the chill [E] till I'm too [B] old to _ [E] die _ young. _ _ _ _
[A] _ Let me _ watch [D] my _ [A] children [E] grow _ to see what they _ _ become.
_ [B] _ _ _ _
_ [E] Lord, don't let _ that cold [A] wind blow till [E] I'm too old [B] to _ [E] die _ _ _ young. _

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ I have had _ some real good friends. _
I thought I would never _ [B] _ die. _ _ _
But [E] now _ all that I've got left of [A] them are [E] these _ _ [B] teardrops in my [E] eye. _ _ _ _ _
So if I [A] could _ [E] have one wish _ today, and I could know [A] _ [E] it would be _ [B] done, _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ I'd say _ _ everyone _ _ [A] could
_ stay till [E] they're too old [B] to die [E] _ young. _ _ _
_ [A] _ Let me watch my [D] _ [A] children [E] grow _
_ [Gb] to see _ [E] what they _ [B] _ become. _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ Lord, don't let that cold [A] wind blow till [E] I'm too old [B]
to die [E] _ young. _ _
_ _ _ [Am] Let me watch my [C] _ _ [N] children _ grow _ to see _ what they _ _ become. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Lord, don't let that cold wind _ blow till I'm too old to _ die young.
_ _ _ Till I'm too _ old to [Abm] _ _ _
[Ab] die _ _ young. _ _
