Dyin' Ain't Much Of A Livin'

Jon Bon Jovi

Tom: C


(Intro)

(Em  D)  4x

(Verse)
  Am             D
A whisky bottle comforts me
     G              C
And tells me not to cry
         Am               D
While a full moon says a prayer for me  
   c              E
I try to close my eyes
         Am              D
But the night's there to remind me
       G     G/F#         C
Of the guns and the early graves
     Dm                G
The ghosts appear as I fall asleep 
           Am        D    G     Gm
To sing an outlaw's serenade

(CHORUS)
Dm                       G
Dyin' ain't much of a livin'
            C             Am
When you're livin' on the run
Dm                     G                   Am
Dyin' ain't much of a livin' ...  for the young
            Dm                 G
Is it too late to ask for forgiveness
        C                  Am
For the things that I have done
Dm                    G                    C     D
Dyin' ain't much of a livin' ...  for the young

(Em   D)  4x

(Verse)
Am                  D
The desert's been a friend to me 
   G           C
It covers me by night
      Am                 D
And a snakebite's not my enemy
      C                E
But it taught me how to fight
         Am                  D
All this fame don't bring you freedom
          G       G/F#      C
Though it wears a thin disguise
        Am               D
When an outlaw is just a man to me
     C    D      G
And a man has to die

(CHORUS)
Dm                       G
Dyin' ain't much of a livin'
            C             Am
When you're livin' on the run
Dm                     G                   Am
Dyin' ain't much of a livin' ...  for the young
            Dm                 G
Is it too late to ask for forgiveness
        C                  Am
For the things that I have done
Dm                    G                    C     
Dyin' ain't much of a livin' ...  for the young

(Solo)
Am       C            Am
Na na na na  Na na na na
         C
Na na na na

(Bridge)
G
And I hope someone will pray for me
G5
When it's my turn to die  ...  pray for me

(CHORUS)
Dm                       G
Dyin' ain't much of a livin'
            C     C/B      Am
When you're livin' on the run
Dm                     G                   Am
Dyin' ain't much of a livin' ...  for the young
            Dm                 G
Is it too late to ask for forgiveness
        C          C/B      Am
For the things that I have done
Dm                    G                    C     
Dyin' ain't much of a livin' ...  for the young

         G/E          G
Na na na na  Na na na na

         C/E          F       
Na na na na  Na na na na
         G/E          G
Na na na na  Na na na na
