[Verse 1]
    G          G7
I'd rather die young
          F           C
Than grow old without you
   G
So don't ever leave me
     G7       D7
What-ever you do


[Chorus]
       G          G7
Though others may tempt you
    F             C
And tell you they care
       G         G7
You'll find only sorrow
     D7     G
In a secret affair


[Verse 2]
    G          G7
I'd rather die young
          F       C
Than grow old all alone
       G
Please tell me you love me
       G7          D7
Let me call you my own


[Chorus]
   G             G7
To see someone's picture
      F          C
Where my picture hung
   G           G7
Be-lieve me my darling
    D7         G
I'd rather die young


[Bridge]

      G7
Don't leave me
      C
Never leave me
G7     C

             G7
Please don't leave me
      C
Never leave me
G7     C


[Verse 3]
    G          G7
I'd rather die young
          F       C
Than grow old all alone
       G
Please tell me you love me
       G7          D7
Let me call you my own


[Chorus]
   G             G7
To see someone's picture
      F          C
Where my picture hung
   G          G7
Believe me my darling
    D7         G
I'd rather die young
