Chords for James Taylor - never die young - ONE MAN BAND

This song, this next song _ begins,
we were ring-around-the-rosy children,
they were circles around the sun,
never give up, never slow down,
never grow old and never die young.

[B] _ _ [C#m] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ We were ring [Em]-around-the [B]-rosy children
[E] They were circles [A] around the [B] sun
_ [F#] Never give up, [A] never [B] slow down
[C#] Never [F#] grow old, [A] never ever [B] die young.
[E] _ _ _ _ Synchronized [A] with the rising [B] moon,
[E] _ _ even with [A] the evening [B] star.
They [C#m] were true [F#m] love, [A] written [B] in stone.
They [C#m] were never [F#m] alone, they were [A] never [B] that far [E] apart.
_ [A] _
_ [E] _ And [F#m] we [A] couldn't bear [B] to believe they might meet again,
[F#m] and we had to [C#m] close [B] our eyes.
[F#m] To cut up our [A] losses [B] into double doses,
[F#m] and thrash in our tears and sigh.
_ [E] You could see them on the street on a [A] Saturday [B] night.
_ [E] _ Everyone used [A] to run them [B] down.
They're [C#m] a little [F#m] too sweet, [A] they're a little [B] too tight.
They're [C#m] not [F#m] enough tough for [A] this tough [B] town.
_ [E] _ Couldn't touch them with a [A] ten-foot [B] pole.
[E] No, it didn't seem to rattle [B] at all.
They were [C#m] fused [F#m] together, [A] body [B] and soul.
[C#m] And much [F#m] more with [A] their backs [B] up against the _ [G#m] wall.
[A] _ _ [B] _
_ [C#m] _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ [A] _ _
[B] Oh, [C#m] hold them up, _ [B] hold them up.
[C#m] Never do let [B] them fall.
[C#m] Pray to the dust [B] and the rust [C#m] and the ruin
[A] that names us, [B] that claims us, [C#m] that shames [A] us [E] all. _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ [F#m] _ _
_ [A] _ _ [B] _ [C#m] _ _ _ [F#m] _
_ [A] _ [B] _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ [G#] _
_ [A] _ [A#] _ _ [D#m] _ [A#] _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ Oh, it had to happen [B] someday soon.
[E] There wasn't nothing [A] to hold them [B] down.
They [C#m] would rise from the hummus like a big [B] balloon.
_ [C#m] Take the [F#m] sky and [A] forsake [B] the ground.
_ [E] Oh, yes, other hearts were [B] broken.
_ [E] And I know other [A] dreams ran [B] dry.
But [C#m] our golden ones [A] sail on [B] and on
[C#m] to [F#m] another land [A] beneath [B] another [E] sky.
Let other hearts [B] be broken.
[E] _ Let other dreams run [B] dry.
[C#m] Let our golden ones [A] sail [B] on and on
[C#m] to another [F#m] land [A] beneath [B] another _ [E] sky.
_ [A] _ _
[B] _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ [A] _ _
[B] Beneath another [E] sky.
_ [A] _ _ [C] _
_ [C#m] _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ [A] _
_ [B] [C#m] Oh, hold them up, [B] hold them up.
[C#m] _ Hold them up, [B] want to hold them [C#m] up.
Can't you [B] hold [E] them up? _ _
