DO NOT GO GENTLY
By Weddings Parties Anything

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

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official WEDDING PARTIES ANYTHING tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
