The second cover on the album and again, one of my all time favourite
songs. (RIP Warren Zevon!) It’s so poignant and such a simple sentiment that I’m sure most of us can connect... if we’re lucky. :) I am really fascinated by the way songs take on new meanings relative to what’s happening in your life. I’d love to hear from you about how this
song applies to you. Email reubenjanderson@gmail.com
lyrics
E C#m
Don’t let us get sick
A E
Don’t let us get old
E Emaj7 C#m
Don’t let us get stupid, all right?
A E
Just make us be brave
G# C#m
And make us play nice
A B E
And let us be together tonight
E C#m
The sky was on fire
A E
As I walked to the mill
E Emaj7 C#m
To take up the slack in the line
A E
I thought of my friends
G# E C#m
And the troubles they've had
A B(ish)
To keep me from thinking of mine
Don’t let us get sick
Don’t let us get old
Don’t let us get stupid, all right?
Just make us be brave
And make us play nice
And let us be together tonight
Beautiful guitar solo
The moon has a face
And it smiles on the lake
As it causes the ripples in Time
I’m lucky to be here
With someone I like
Who’ll maketh my spirit to shine
Don’t let us get sick
Don’t let us get old
Don’t let us get stupid, all right?
Just make us be brave
And make us play nice
A B C#m
And let us be together tonight
A B E(ish)
And let us be together tonight
