[Intro]

■ ■  ■ ■  ■  ■ ■
        F               G        Am  
The old rocker wore his hair too long
                       G        
Wore his trouser cuffs too tight
C F             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  Em             Am         D   
The transport caf' prophet of doom
G            C             D        G         
■ Ringing no change in his ■ double sewn seams
   Em  Am      D         
In his postwar babe gloom


[Chorus]
D7          Bb  C F               Bb  
■  Now he's too ■ old to rock 'n' roll
Eb Am                 D     
■  But he's too young to die
         Bb  C F               Bb  
Yes he's too ■ old to rock 'n' roll
Eb Bb                    F  
■  But he's too young to die
C                 F      G C        Am
■ He once owned a Harley ■ Davidson ■ 
      D       G         
And a triumph Bonneville


[Verse]
C             F          G          C     Am   
■ Counted his friends in burned out spark plugs
          Dm7            G7   G
And prays that he always will ■
                         C          D        G Em  
But he's the last of the blue blood greasers ■ boys
               Am        D         
And all of his mates are doing time
G              C          D           G    Em  
■ Married with three kids ■ up by the ring road
           Am                      D   
Sold their souls straight down the line
G             C        D      G      Em  
■ And some of them own little sports cars
                Am          D   
And meet at the tennis club do's
G                 C      D       G     
■ For drinks on a Sunday work on Monday
Em             Am              D          
They've thrown away their blue suede shoes


[Chorus]
    Bb      C   F               Bb  
Now they're too old to rock 'n' roll
Eb Am                    D     
■  And they're too young to die
            Bb  C   F             Bb  
And they're too old ■ to rock 'n' roll
Eb Bb                       F  
■  And they're too young to die

[Bridge]
C          F      G            C   
So the old rocker gets out his bike
A7            D               G   G7   
To make a ton before he takes his leave


[Verse]
C           F    G           C      Am
■ Up on the Aone ■ by Scotch Corner ■ 
D            G         
Just like it used to be
          C     D            G   
And as he flies tears in his eyes
Em              Am                   D   
His windwhipped words echo the final take
G               C                D            G           Em    
And he hits the trunk road doing around a one hundred and twenty
Am           D             D7
With no room left to brake ■ 


[Chorus]
           Bb C       F             Bb  
And he was ■  too old ■ to rock 'n' roll
Eb        A7               D  
■  But he was too young to die
       Bb C   F               Bb  
He was ■  too old to rock 'n' roll
Eb     Bb               F7    
And he was too young to ■  die
   Bb           C7  F               Bb  
No you're never too old to rock 'n' roll
   Eb Bb                  F7 
If ■  you're too young to die
   Bb7    Bb    C7  F               Bb   Eb
No you're never too old to rock 'n' roll ■ 
           Bb           C  
But he was too young to die
