    E7     Am Dm7  Am   F7    E7   Fdim  E7
I'm gonna live         till I die!  

           Am Dm7  Am   F7       E7   Fdim  E7
I'm gonna laugh       'stead of cry,

           Am      Fdim      F7            Bb9
I'm gonna take the town and turn it upside down,

           E7    F7    E7   Bm7-5   Am
I'm gonna live, live, live until I die.


         E7    Am Dm7  Am   F7     E7   Fdim  E7
They're gonna say         "What a guy!"  

           Am Dm7  Am  F7       E7   Fdim  E7
I'm gonna play         for the sky.

            Am      Fdim       F7            Bb9
Ain't gonna miss a thing, I'm gonna have my fling,

           E7    F7    E7   Bm7-5   Am
I'm gonna live, live, live until I die.



Bridge:

            G7                       C
The blues I lay low, I'll make them stay low,

               G7            C
They'll never trail over my head.

     F7   E7          F7     Am
I'll be a devil, till I'm an angel, 

    F7     E7   Dm7       Fdim   E7
But until then, Hal - le - lu - jah!



       Am Dm7  Am  F7   E7   Fdim  E7
Gonna dance,      gonna fly, 

              Am   Dm7  Am   F7     E7   Fdim  E7
I'll take a chance          riding high,

          Am      Fdim           F7      Bb9
Before my number's up, I'm gonna fill my cup,

           E7    F7    E7   Bm7-5  E7     Bb9    Am
I'm gonna live, live, live, live, live  until I die!
