Old Before Your Time Tabbed by: Johan Ambros


Tuning: Standard Tuning

Intro: G
C C/B Am7 G D
C G

G C G C
When I was a younger man lookin' for my pot of gold
G C D
Everywhere I turned the doors were closin'
G C G C
Took every ounce of faith I had to keep on keepin' on
G C D
Still I felt like I was only losin'

C G C
I refused then like I do now to let anybody tie me down
G D
I lost a few good friends along the way
C G
I was raised up poor and I wanted more
C
And maybe I'm a little too proud
G D
Lookin' back I see a kid who was just afraid
C D G
Hungry and old before this time

C C/B Am7 G D
C G


G C G C
Through the years I've known my share of broken hearted fools
G C D
And those who couldn't choose a path worth taking
G C G C
There's nothin' in the world so sad as talking to a man
G C D
Never knew his life was his for making


C G C
Ain't it about time you realize? It's not worth keepin' score
G D
You win some, you lose some and you let it go
C G C
What's the use of stacking on every failure another stone
G
Till you find you've spent your whole life
D
Building walls
C D G
Lonely and old before your time


C C/B Am7 G D
C G

C Em
It took so long to see
C Em D
That truth was all around me


G C G C
Now the wren has gone to roost and the sky is turnin' gold
G C D
And like the sky my soul is also turnin'
G C G C
Turnin' from the past, at last and all I've left behind
G C D
Could it be that I am finally learnin'?


C G C
Learnin' I'm deserving of love and the peaceful heart
G D
I won't tear myself apart no more for tryin'
C G C
Tired of lyin' to myself, tryin' to buy what can't be bought
G D
It's not livin' that you're doin' if it feels like dyin
C D G
Cryin, growin' old before your time
C D G
Cryin, growin' old before your time

G..

G C D C/B Am7 Em There are lots of simple "runs"
e---3-(4)--0------2-(2)--0------0------0-------| you can do in this song, but if
B---0------1-(1)--3-(3)--1-(1)--1-(1)--0-------| you don't know them allready you
G---0------0------2-(1)--0------0------0-------| are probably better off learning
D---0------2-(2)--0------x------2-(2)--2-(3)---| them somewhere else than me just
A---x------3-(4)---------2-(2)--0------2-(2)---| writing them here..
E---3-(3)--3-(3)-----------------------0-------|
