intro C Em
  C
To my aching glow

                     Em
You got a hold of me now...

         C
How you rendered slow

                 Em
But harder than hell to my ground

                               D
I'm looking for my old mans' shoes

                         C
I'm kicking off these old town blues...

C
Don't leave me here

                     Em
Cos' I just won't survive

               C
There's a raven hovering

                       Em
But a-he's keeping me alive...

                        D
I've known him all my life

                                C
He's the spirit of a young man mourning

                        D
But like the shadow of a carving knife

                                C
He's not the danger but the warning sign
And we're kicking off easy
C
Hey....

                        Em
Oh I can't seem to move

   C
I'm paralysed....

                Em
I'm chocking on my holy mood

                        D
Cos I wanna be an old man too

                C
I wanna be a role model to my kids

                        D
I wanna teach them how to love

                        C
But you gotta show me how to live
And we're kicking off easy
C                 Em
ohhhhhhhh - yheaaa

C                 Em
ohhhhhhhh - yheaaa

D              C
         - yheaaa

D              C
Oh nooooo- yheaaa
