 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
