a- G F F , a- G e- F , a- 
     G          F                       a-
Don't let me grow old in this place
        G        e-       F             a-
In this town of violent disgrace
             G                 F
where villians prosper and the meek subsist on a
a-      G               e-          F        a-
diet of fear from the threat of the fist
     G               F                 a-
as the years upon my body press
        G               e-         F         a-
and my reactions and my strengh grows less
     G           F                           a-
don't let me grow old in this place

Don't let me grow old in this place
       a-          G     e-         F        a-
where honour and respect hide their face
      G         F
and the young grow in contempt
        a-     G          e-     F
of whatever it was that humanity meant
       a-     G        F
with common civility so far left behind
      a-   G          e-          F          a-
and vulgar curses now made common kind
    G           F                            a-
don't let me grow old in this place
    G             e-F
don't let me grow old.

Don't let me grow old in this place
         G             e-        F
where after dark it's no longer safe
   a-             G          F
to walk through the streets to visit a friend
       a-  G             e-       F
where unlit carparks are criminal dens
     a-           G             F
and burglars and car thieves bragg and trade tricks
     a-       G          e-      F           a-
and vandals wreck each park in the district
    G          F                             a-
don't let me grow old in this place

don't let me grow old
      a-G e- F
