Too Old To Die Young

Written by Scott Dooley/John Hadley/Kevin Welch

	  		Greg, 
 
In the May 8, 1998 issue of "Cowpie News", someone named Gary requested 
this song.  This song works out real well played "Carter Family" style(for 
lack of a better description).  I have the melody picked out in tab 
form but, I don't know how to transcribe the strums in between the 
notes.  If anyone has a suggestion, I will be glad to put it all together. 
 
 
Verse 1 
C                      F C 
If life is like a candle bright 
                   G 
Death must be the wind 
C                         F 
You can close your window tight 
       C             G     C 
And it still comes blowing in 
                        F   C 
So I will climb the highest hill 
                    G 
To watch the rising sun 
    C                           F                    
And pray that I don't feel that chill 
          C       G       C 
'Till I'm too old to die young

F C Let me watch my children grow G To see what they become C F Oh Lord don't let that cold wind blow C G C 'Till I'm too old to die young

Verse 2 Now I have had some dear sweet friends I thought would never die Now all that is left of them Is the tear drops in my eye If I could have one wish today And know it would be done I would say every one can stay 'Till they're too old to die young Chorus
