Too Old To Die Young chords

Greg,

In the May 8, 1998 issue of "Cowpie News", someone named Gary requested
this song.  This song works out real well played "Carter Family" style(for
lack of a better description).  I have the melody picked out in tab
form but, I don't know how to transcribe the strums in between the
notes.  If anyone has a suggestion, I will be glad to put it all together.


Verse 1
C                      F C
If life is like a candle bright
                   G
Death must be the wind
C                         F
You can close your window tight
       C             G     C
And it still comes blowing in
                        F   C
So I will climb the highest hill
                    G
To watch the rising sun
    C                           F                   

    hide ad ⨯
    

        

    



And pray that I don't feel that chill
          C       G       C
'Till I'm too old to die young

Chorus
F                         C
Let me watch my children grow 
                   G
To see what they become
    C                             F
Oh Lord don't let that cold wind blow
          C       G      C
'Till I'm too old to die young

Verse 2

Now I have had some dear sweet friends
I thought would never die
Now all that is left of them
Is the tear drops in my eye
If I could have one wish today
And know it would be done
I would say every one can stay
'Till they're too old to die young

Chorus
