[Intro]
C Ab F Eb Db F C
■ ■  ■ ■  ■  ■ ■
        F               G    C   Am  
The old rocker wore his hair too long
                       G        
Wore his trouser cuffs too tight
C F             G        Am  D             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      D         
In his postwar babe gloom


[Chorus]
         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 D        C
■ He once owned a Harley ■ Davidson ■
Am       D       G         
■  And a triumph Bonneville


[Verse]
C             F          G                C     Am7
■ Counted his friends in burned out spark plugs ■  
          Dm7            G   
And prays that he always will
                         C          D        G Em  
But he's the last of the blue blood greasers ■ boys
    E7         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          
■ And some of them own ■ little sports cars
Em              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

C Ab F Eb Db F
■ ■  ■ ■  ■  ■
C          F      G              C   
So the old rocker ■ gets out his bike
A7            D               G        
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            
With no room left to brake


[Chorus]
D7            Bb  C F                   
■  And he was too ■ old to rock 'n' roll
Bb     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               F                 Bb  
No you're never too ■ old to rock 'n' roll
F7 Eb Bb         F7          
If ■  you're too young to die
Bb7       C7        F               Bb   Eb
No you're never too old to rock 'n' roll ■ 
           Bb              
But he was too young to die
