Capo 4th fret
 
 
[Intro]
C G
 
 
[Verse 1]
CMight as well be ten feet tall, built of steel, and twice as strong
FWith a mind just like a wellspring full of lessons
CHe wakes up and works while he's still able
CSunday nights around that table
FHe'll cross his calloused hands and lead the blessing
CAnd he loves momma every day, she still looks at him the same
F GHe's watched time keep tickin' by, but he don't complain
 
 
[Chorus]
FYeah, we love to sing, "Forever Young"
G C G/B Am7 GAnd hope the trips around the sun start spinnin' a little slower
F GAnd we're scared that if you blink your еyes, your twenties turn to forty-fivе
C G/B Am7And life puts all its weight there on your shoulders
G F GBut if I get half the chance to be like my old man
CI ain't afraid of gettin' older
 
 
[Verse 2]
CI got a few grays just like him and scars to show the life I've lived
FAnd I'm settlin' down more with every season
CAnd sure, he's further down the road
CBut he still shows me where to go
F GHow to live, how to love, how to raise your own ones up
 
 
[Chorus]
FYeah, we love to sing, "Forever Young"
G C G/B Am7 GAnd hope the trips around the sun start spinnin' a little slower
F GAnd we're scared that if you blink your еyes, your twenties turn to forty-fivе
C G/B Am7And life puts all its weight there on your shoulders
G F GBut if I get half the chance to be like my old man
FI ain't afraid of gettin' older
GNo, no
 
 
[Bridge]
CSo, let those years pile up
G/B Am7And let those clocks keep runnin'
G F'Cause they don't stop for nothin' anyway
GAnd that's okay
 
 
[Chorus]
FYeah, we love to sing, "Forever Young"
G C G/B Am7 GAnd hope the trips around the sun start spinnin' a little slower
F GAnd we're scared that if you blink your еyes, your twenties turn to forty-fivе
C G/B Am7And life puts all its weight there on your shoulders
G F GBut if I get half the chance to be like my old man
CI ain't afraid of gettin' older
Am7No, no
G F GIf I get half the chance to be like my old man
CI ain't afraid of gettin' older
