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
