    D5            G5 A5
for Round Five.'
           D5                 G5
He said , 'You don't need no strength, you need to 
A5        D5    G5 A5
grow up, son.'
         D5                   G5               A5
I said, 'Growing up leads to growing old and then 
   D5     G5 A5
to dying.
          D5                 G5          A5             D5
