Capo 4th fret
 
 
 
[Intro]
C   G
 
 
[Verse 1]
C
Might as well be ten feet tall, built of steel, and twice as strong
       F
With a mind just like a wellspring full of lessons
         C
He wakes up and works while he's still able
C
Sunday nights around that table
      F
He'll cross his calloused hands and lead the blessing
             C
And he loves momma every day, she still looks at him the same
             F                                     G
He's watched time keep tickin' by, but he don't complain
 
 
[Chorus]
         F
Yeah, we love to sing, "Forever Young"
    G                             C        G/B            Am7   G
And hope the trips around the sun start spinnin' a little slower
          F                                        G
And we're scared that if you blink your еyes, your twenties turn to forty-fivе
    C                 G/B                  Am7
And life puts all its weight there on your shoulders
       G              F                        G
But if I get half the chance to be like my old man
                          C
I ain't afraid of gettin' older
 
 
[Verse 2]
C
I got a few grays just like him and scars to show the life I've lived
        F
And I'm settlin' down more with every season
               C
And sure, he's further down the road
C
But he still shows me where to go
       F                         G
How to live, how to love, how to raise your own ones up
 
 
[Chorus]
         F
Yeah, we love to sing, "Forever Young"
    G                             C        G/B            Am7   G
And hope the trips around the sun start spinnin' a little slower
          F                                        G
And we're scared that if you blink your еyes, your twenties turn to forty-fivе
    C                 G/B                  Am7
And life puts all its weight there on your shoulders
       G              F                        G
But if I get half the chance to be like my old man
                          F
I ain't afraid of gettin' older
 G
No, no
 
 
[Bridge]
                         C
So, let those years pile up
    G/B                   Am7
And let those clocks keep runnin'
       G                   F
'Cause they don't stop for nothin' anyway
            G
And that's okay
 
 
[Chorus]
         F
Yeah, we love to sing, "Forever Young"
    G                             C        G/B            Am7   G
And hope the trips around the sun start spinnin' a little slower
          F                                        G
And we're scared that if you blink your еyes, your twenties turn to forty-fivе
    C                 G/B                  Am7
And life puts all its weight there on your shoulders
       G              F                        G
But if I get half the chance to be like my old man
                          C
I ain't afraid of gettin' older
 Am7
No, no
         G        F                        G
If I get half the chance to be like my old man
                          C
I ain't afraid of gettin' older
 
 
[Outro]
C
Mm-hmm
