[Intro]

■  ■  ■ ■  ■  ■ ■
        F               G        C Am  
The old rocker wore his hair too ■ long
                       G        
Wore his trouser cuffs too tight
C Cm            G        Am                G        
■ Unfashionable ■ to the end drank his ale too light


[Verse]
             C            D           G     
Death's head belts buckle yesterday's dreams
E7            Am              D   
The transport caf' prophet of doom
G            C         D          G         
■ Ringing no change in his double sewn seams
       Em           Am   
In his postwar babe gloom
             D               D7     
Now he's too old to rock 'n' ■  roll


[Chorus]
         Bb              
But he's too young to die
C            F               Bb  
Yes he's too old to rock 'n' roll
    Eb             Am    
But he's too young to die
                       Dm      
He once owned a Harley Davidson
      Dm                
And a triumph Bonneville
Bb                     C          F          
Counted his friends in burned out spark plugs
    Bb         Eb            
And prays that he always will
Bb                                  F            
But he's the last of the blue blood greasers boys

[Verse]
        F  G C A7                      
And all of ■ ■ his mates are doing time
Dm                 G       Gsus4 C          F   
Married with three kids up by    ■ the ring road
G                C        Am       Dm  
Sold their souls straight down the line
G                           C          
And some of them own little sports cars
    D                  G    Em  
And meet at the tennis club do's
                               Am    
For drinks on a Sunday work on Monday
                    D          G            
They've thrown away their blue ■ suede shoes
                       C            
Now they're too old to rock 'n' roll
                D           
And they're too young to die
                            G       
And they're too old to rock 'n' roll
                         Em 
And they're too young to die
       Am         D                
So the old rocker gets out his bike


[Chorus]
                        Bb        C    
To make a ton before he takes his leave
          F                    
Up on the Aone by Scotch Corner
Bb           Eb        
Just like it used to be
A7              Dm               
And as he flies tears in his eyes
    Bb                         C         
His windwhipped words echo the final take
       F                         Bb           Eb         Bb        
And he hits the trunk road doing around a one ■  hundred and twenty
        Bb                
With no room left to brake
               F7  F             Bb  
And he was too old ■ to rock 'n' roll
                        C7 
But he was too young to die
       F                   Bb  
He was too old to rock 'n' roll
    Eb            Bb          
And ■  he was too young to die
                           F7           
No you're never too old to rock 'n' roll
              Bb          
If you're too young to die
          C         F               Bb   Eb
No you're never too old to rock 'n' roll ■ 
               Bb       C  
But he was too young to die
