There is no strumming pattern for this song yet. Create and get +5 IQ
Album: Forever Young (1984)
I would recommend to play it using picking pattern: T i m i r i m i
The G chord played at the end of each verse is one beat long: a single down strum will do.

[Verse 1]
C G Am
Let's dance in style, let's dance for a while
F G
Heaven can wait we're only watching the skies
Dm F
Hoping for the best, but expecting the worst
Am G
Are you gonna drop the bomb or not?
C G Am
Let us die young or let us live forever
F G
We don't have the power, but we never say never
Dm F
Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip
Am G
The music's for the sad man
C G Am
Can you imagine when this race is won
F G
Turn our golden faces into the sun
Dm F
Praising our leaders, we're getting in tune
Am G
The music's played by the... the madman

Some are like water, some are like the heat
F G
Some are a melody and some are the beat
Dm F
Sooner or later they all will be gone
Am G
Why don't they stay young?
C G Am
It's so hard to get old without a cause
F G
I don't want to perish like a fading horse
Dm F
Youth’s like diamonds in the sun
Am G
And diamonds are forever
C G Am
So many adventures couldn’t happen today

So many songs we forgot to play

So many dreams swinging out of the blue

We’ll let them come true

Do you really want to live forever?

Wrong lyrics:
1) Let's start in style, let's dance for a while --> Let's dance in style, let's dance for a while
2) Let us stay young or let us live forever --> Let us die young or let us live forever
3) Sitting in the sandpit, life is a short trip --> Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip
4) Turn out all the faces into the sun --> Turn our golden faces into the sun
5)Do you really want to live forever? Forever, and ever --> Do you really want to live forever? Forever, we'll never
6) Years like diamonds in the sun --> Youth's like diamonds in the sun
7) So many advantages given up today --> So many adventures couldn't happen today
8) Oh let it come true --> We'll let them come true

The songs great. Been listening to it on my daily walk to work pretty much every night, its relaxing and overall just a nice song so being able to play it around a campfire or performing is something i want to be able to do.
