VERSE 1 
G5              E5                     A5 
To the bar he goes in his half grown beard 
         C5 
and his workman's clothes 
 G5             E5                  A5 
Till closing time he will sit and think of the things 
     C5             D5 
that he did in his prime 
          C5                    E5             A5 
When his hair was longer, and his ideals were stronger 
C5           D5 
 before he let things pass 
           C5                D5             C5       G5 
When he thought he was the voice of the working class 
           C5                 D5             C5       G5 
he really thought he was the voice of the working class 
 
VERSE 2 

But the years rolled by and they took their toll 

one grows tired and one grows old 

looks for a temporary situation 

might as well wait for his superanuation 

Now he hardly thinks of a manuscript he wrote 

he sits and drinks in a Fitzroy pub 

and refuses to admit that he has missed the boat 

He refuses to admit that he has missed the boat 
 
BRIDGE 
G5    C5      D5    C5        G5           C5         D5      C5 
But Oh! the memories, of wild nights spent in Carlton bars 
G5    C5      D5        C5         G5     C5       D5       C5 
And oh the tales he tells, of dexydrin and borrowed cars 
G5    C5          D5           C5         G5 
His hands they shake, his eyes they glaze 
     C5    D5         C5       G5 
He exaggerates his Whitlam days 
    C5       D5        C5      G5 
We all grow old, we all get fat 
        C5       D5        C5        D5 
Pray to God we don't all go like that 
 
VERSE 3 
As the night rolls on and it's getting late 
So it's off home to house he hates 
For the restless sleep on the clean white sheets 
and the morning when his head will ache 
just it time to catch a train 
and start the whole thing fresh again 
But is fresh the word you'd use? 
Not much to win, much too much to lose 
 
CHORUS (chords as bridge) 
Do not go gently, do not go sad 
Do not go gently, do not go sad 
Do not go gently, do not go sad 
Do not go gently, do not go sad 
 
REPEAT
