Old Town Blues

	  		

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
