[Intro]
- - -
The old Rocker wore his hair too lo???...ng
wore his trouser cuffs too tight
- - -
unfashionable to the e????.nd
drank his ale too light
- G|- - Em
Death s head belt buckle, yesterday s drea?..ms
-
the transport caf prophet of doom
- -
Ringing no change in his double-sewn seams in his
post-war-babe gloom
- - - -
Now he s too o .???ld to rock n ro??..?ll
but he s too young to die
- - - -
Yes he s too o?..??ld to rock n ro?.?..?ll
-
but he s too young to die
- - -
He once owned a Harley Davids????.on
and a Triumph Bonneville
- -
counted his friends in burned-out spa?.rk plugs
and prays that he always will
-
But he s the last of the blue blood greaser bo???.ys
all of his mates are doing time
- G|- Em
Married with three kids up by the ri?..ng road
sold their souls straight down the line
- G|- Em
And some of them own little spo?rts cars
and meet at the tennis club do s
- G|- - Em
For drinks on a Sunday, work on Mo??nday
they ve thrown away their blue suede shoes
- - - -
Now he s too o .???ld to rock n ro??..?ll
but he s too young to die
- - - -
Yes he s too o?..??ld to rock n ro?.?..?ll
but he s too young to die
( )
- - -
So the old rocker gets out his bi?.??..ke
to make a ton before he takes his leave
- - -
Up on the 1 by Scotch Co???rner
just like it used to be
- - G|- Em
And as he fli?es, tears in his e???.yes
his wind-whipped words echo the final take
G|- - Em
And he hits the trunk road doing around a hundred and tw??.enty
with no room left to brake
- - - -
And he was too o .???ld to rock n ro??..?ll
but he was too young to die
- - - -
Yes, he was too o?..??ld to rock n ro?.?..?ll
and he was too young to die
- - - - -
Now, you re never too o .???ld to rock n ro??..?ll
-
if you re too young to die
- - - - -
And now you re never too o?..??ld to rock n ro?.?..?ll
- - - - - - - - -
but you re too young to die
