  DO NOT GO GENTLY

  

  By  Weddings Parties Anything

  Written by Michael Thomas

  --------------------------

  VERSE 1

  G              Em                     Am

  To the bar he goes in his half grown beard

           C

  and his workman's clothes

   G             Em                  Am

  Till closing time he will sit and think of the things

       C             D

  that he did in his prime

            C                    Em             Am

  When his hair was longer, and his ideals were stronger

  C           D

   before he let things pass

             C                D             C       G

  When he thought he was the voice of the working class

             C                 D             C       G

  he really thought he was the voice of the working class

  

  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

  G    C      D    C        G           C         D      C

  But Oh! the memories, of wild nights spent in Carlton bars

  G    C      D        C         G     C       D       C

  And oh the tales he tells, of dexydrin and borrowed cars

  G    C          D           C         G

  His hands they shake, his eyes they glaze

       C    D         C       G

  He exaggerates his Whitlam days

      C       D        C      G

  We all grow old, we all get fat

          C       D        C        D

  Pray to God we don't all go like that

  

  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
