Greg, In the May 8, 1998 issue of "Cowpie News", someone named Gary requested this song. This song works out real well played "Carter Family" style(for lack of a better description). I have the melody picked out in tab form but, I don't know how to transcribe the strums in between the notes. If anyone has a suggestion, I will be glad to put it all together. Verse 1 If life is like a candle bright Death must be the wind You can close your window tight And it still comes blowing in So I will climb the highest hill To watch the rising sun And pray that I don't feel that chill 'Till I'm too old to die young Let me watch my children grow To see what they become Oh Lord don't let that cold wind blow 'Till I'm too old to die young Verse 2 Now I have had some dear sweet friends I thought would never die Now all that is left of them Is the tear drops in my eye If I could have one wish today And know it would be done I would say every one can stay 'Till they're too old to die young Chorus
