Forever Young



C                G                      Am
  Let's start in style, let's dance for a while
           F                            G
Heaven can wait we're only watching the skies
               Am                      F
Hoping for the best, but expecting the worst
                       G6 - FMaj7 - G6 - C
Are you gonna drop the bomb or not?

Let us stay young or let us live forever
We don't have the power, but we never say never
Sitting in the sandpit, life is a short trip
The music's for the sadman

Can you imagine when this race is won
Turn out all the faces into the sun
Praising our leaders, we're getting in tune
The music's played by the madman

C         G
  Forever Young
          Am         F
I want to be Forever Young
G                      Am
 Do you really want to live forever?
F       G
 Forever, you'll never
C         G
  Forever Young,
          Am         F
I want to be Forever Young
G                     Am
Do you really want to live forever?
F  G         C
     Forever Young.

Some are like water, some are like the heat
Some are a melody and some are the beat
Sooner or later they all will be gone
Why don't they stay young?

It's so hard to get old without a cause
I don't want to perish like a fading horse
Years like diamonds in the sun
And diamonds are forever

So many advantages given up today
So many songs we forgot to play
So many dreams swinging out of the blue
Oh let it come true

Great first song
Focus on clean chords — let every string ring. Speed comes by itself once the shapes are right.
