Tuning: E A D G B E

Album: Forever Young (1984) I would recommend to play it using picking pattern: T i m i r i m i The G chord played at the end of each verse is one beat long: a single down strum will do. [Intro] | C | G | Am | F | G | Dm | F | Am G | [Verse 1]

^C Let's dance in sty^Gle, let's dance for a ^Amwhile Heaven can ^Fwait we're only watching the s^Gkies Hoping for the b^Dmest, but expecting the ^Fworst Are you gonna drop the^Am bomb or not^G?

^C Let us die ^Gyoung or let us live fo^Amrever We don't have the ^Fpower, but we never say ^Gnever Sitting in a ^Dmsandpit, life is a ^Fshort trip The music's for the ^Amsad man^G

^C Can you i^Gmagine when this race is w^Amon Turn our golden ^Ffaces into the s^Gun Praising our l^Dmeaders, we're getting in t^Fune The music's played by^Am the... the mad^Gman

[Chorus 1]

^C Forever Y^Goung I want to ^Ambe Forever ^FYoung ^G Do you really want to ^Amlive forever? ^F Forever,^G we’ll never ^C Forever ^GYoung, I want to ^Ambe Forever ^FYoung ^G Do you really want to ^Amlive forever? ^F ^G Forever ^CYoung.

[Break] | G F | [Verse 2]

^C Some are like w^Gater, some are like the ^Amheat Some are a ^Fmelody and some are the ^Gbeat Sooner or ^Dmlater they all will be ^Fgone Why don't ^Amthey stay young^G?

^C It's so hard to get ^Gold without a ^Amcause I don't want to ^Fperish like a fading ho^Grse Youth’s like d^Dmiamonds in the s^Fun And diamonds are fo^Amrever ^G

^C So many adv^Gentures couldn’t happen to^Amday So many ^Fsongs we forgot to ^Gplay So many ^Dmdreams swinging out of the ^Fblue We’ll let them come ^Amtrue ^G

[Chorus 2]
