I Want To Be Old
The Cure
These are the chords to the studio recording at this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nY3sh1LXz9A The strumming pattern is notated above but when you get to the places where the chords "step down" from A to F The third time through the solo don’t stop for a N.C. just keep playing. You could play this song with open chords if you so choose but power chords are way better. I’ve suggested best versions of those below. Note the F that’s played at the end of the 1st chord "step down" is in lower position down on the 1st fret string then jump up to 8th fret string to start the next one. :x577xx *:x81010xx :x799xx :81010xx :577xxx #:466xxx :355xxx :133xxx #:688xxx [Intro] * * * * N.. [Verse] I want to be old And creak by the fire I want to smell of rotting wood It’s all I desire I want my joints to seize up I want my legs to ache I want my eyesight to fail I want my skin to flake To be old [Chorus] I want to be old I want to be old I want to be old [Verse] I want false teeth And not be able to chew I want to be senile A centenarian fool I want to have lots of wrinkles Want my hearing to go I want to be ignored And I want to be slow To be old [Chorus] I want to be old I want to be old I want to be old [Solo x 3] * * * * N.. [Chorus] I want to be old I want to be old I want to be old I want to be old
