I find it easier to just play a normal G and C string.
E C#
What was she for Halloween?
E C#
The ugliest girl you ever seen
E G# C# E
Someday she will die alone
E C#
And what was she for Valentine's?
E C#
An old forgotten concubine
E G# C#
Someday he will die for no one
E C# E
She seemed to me to know
E C# E
All the glitter turned sour
E C# E
All that lied in her face
C# E
Jesus saves
C# G# C# C# G# C# C# G# C#
Old a - age, old a - age, old a - age
E C#
It's ok to kill your idols
E C#
Just pretend you have no rivals
C# G# E
We all know that she-e is nameless
E C#
Spits at music it's not an issue
E C#
Just remove the acheful tissue
C# G# E
We all know her age is endless
E C# E
He seemed to me to know
E C# E
All the glitter turned sour
E C# E
All that lied in my face
C# E
Jesus saves
C# G# C# C# G# C# C# G# C#
Old a - age, old a - age, old a - age
C# G#
And she beggs him she says "Pretty please..."
C# G# C# E
Oh, make her pure again, oh, make her cleeean
E C#
No one knows she's Hesto Prynn
E C#
Someone please tell Anne Boulin
E C# G# E
Chokers are back in again
E C#
Some day she won't have to fake it
E C#
When living with itself seems sacred
E G# C#
Someday she will just refuse
E C# E
He seemed to me to know
E C# E
All the glitter turned sour
E C# E
All that lied in his face
C# E
Jesus saves
C# G# C# E C# G# C# E C# G# C# E
Old a - age, old a - age, old a - age
C# E
Jesus saves
C# G# C# E
(Rest in me and) I'm sorry
C# G# C# E
(Peace in piece) So sorry
C# G# C# E#
(Rest in peace and) I'm sorry
C# G# (C#)
(Peace in pieces) so sorry

| Yea I heard that this was Kurt's lyrics too. Just look at them though, they are extremely Kurt-styled. Whatever, at least his music is still getting played. I do think she is a talented artist as well, all though I am not nearly as fond of her as I am of Kurt. | |

| I think this is a pretty good song. And who the fuck cares if Kurt wrote it? It isn't as if Courtney tied him to a chair and forced him to write her a song. He gave it to her willingly. Plus, she's several times admitted she didn't write it in interviews, though she never said it was Kurt, probably knowing that people would only make a big deal out of it. Here's what Courtney had to say about Old Age in 1997: "Old Age is partly someone else's composition. It's something somebody had a little bit of and I said 'let me have the rest of it' and I wrote this thing in it and tried to make it goth. I found it, wrote it, and recorded it the same night." You can tell that this is more Kurt-style than Courtney-style lyrics, though. Fuck, it says KURT all over it with the way it's written. Especially the first verse and the chorus. | |
