^GTo the bar he g^Emoes in his half grown b^Ameard and his w^Corkman's clothes T^Gill closing ti^Emme he will sit and t^Amhink of the things that ^Che did in his ^Dprime When his h^Cair was longer, and h^Emis ideals were ^Amstronger ^C before he l^Det things pass When he tho^Cught he was the v^Doice of the wo^Crking cl^Gass he really t^Chought he was the ^Dvoice of the w^Corking c^Glass

VERSE 2 But the years rolled by and they took their toll one grows tired and one grows old looks for a temporary situation might as well wait for his superanuation Now he hardly thinks of a manuscript he wrote he sits and drinks in a Fitzroy pub and refuses to admit that he has missed the boat He refuses to admit that he has missed the boat BRIDGE

^GBut O^Ch! the ^Dmemor^Cies, of w^Gild nights s^Cpent in Ca^Drlton b^Cars ^GAnd o^Ch the t^Dales he t^Cells, of d^Gexydri^Cn and bo^Drrowed c^Cars ^GHis h^Cands they s^Dhake, his ey^Ces they gl^Gaze He ex^Cagger^Dates his W^Chitlam d^Gays We a^Cll grow ^Dold, we a^Cll get ^Gfat Pray to ^CGod we d^Don't all ^Cgo like t^Dhat

VERSE 3 As the night rolls on and it's getting late So it's off home to house he hates For the restless sleep on the clean white sheets and the morning when his head will ache just it time to catch a train and start the whole thing fresh again But is fresh the word you'd use? Not much to win, much too much to lose CHORUS (chords as bridge) Do not go gently, do not go sad Do not go gently, do not go sad Do not go gently, do not go sad Do not go gently, do not go sad REPEAT Transcribed by Simon Whitaker simonj@ariel.ucs.unimelb.edu.au
