Mood : Emo Mood + Happy Mood
Key : C Major (Your Favorite!)
When I was learning this song, my aunt was there. She was surprised that I was playing a song from her time. From there, I realized that this song is actually a remake of an old hit "Forever Young" by Alphaville. Before you listen to the new version, I strongly suggest you to listen to the original version first. It's really nice too, just Google or YouTube search for Alphaville Forever Young.
Anyway, the song's in C Major, so it's gonna be easy for you to play. However, the chord progression is rather extraordinary. Rather than the Canon in D style of chord progression, the song has its own unique additions, which you'll find out here.

Introduction :
The introduction is basically simple chords with your Left Hand. Like I've said, the chord progression is rather unique:
C, G, A, F, G, D, F, A, quick G, then C for the entire song!
Here are the details of the chords for your convenience.

[Mr. Hudson]
Let’s dance in style,
Let’s dance for a while,
Heaven can wait we’re only watching the skies
Hoping for the best but expecting the worst,
Are you gonna drop the bomb or not?
(Intro style Left Hand on Middle C area)
Let us die young or let us live forever,
We don’t have the power but we never say never,
Sitting in a sandpit,
Life is a short trip,
The music’s for the sad man,
(Intro style Left Hand on octave below Middle C area)
[Chorus]
Forever young,
I wanna be forever young
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever and ever
Forever young I wanna be
Forever young
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever, forever
(Really bold as the bass and drums start to come in, Left Hand dances on chords C, G, A, F, G, D, F, A, fast G, back to C, while Right Hand plays the Melody graceful and grand!)
[Jay-Z]
So we live a life like a video
When the sun is always out and you never get old
And the champagne’s always cold
And the music is always good
And the pretty girls just happen to stop by in the hood
And they hop their pretty ass up on the hood of dat pretty ass car
Without a wrinkle in today
Cuz there is no tomorrow
Just some picture perfect day
To last a whole lifetime
And it never ends
Cos all we have to do is hit rewind
So lets just stay in the moment, smoke some weed,
Drink some wine,
Reminisce talk some shit forever young is in your mind
Leave a mark that can’t erase neither space nor time
So when the director yells cut,
I’ll be fine,
I’m forever young...
(FREESTYLE, Left Hand just dance on chords C, G, A, F, G, D, F, A, fast G, then C with variations - I didn't have time to put in more variation, but you CAN! Right Hand total freestyle)
[Chorus]
(Really bold as the bass and drums start to come in, Left Hand dances on chords C, G, A, F, G, D, F, A, fast G, back to C, while Right Hand plays the Melody graceful and grand!)
[Jay-Z]
Fear not when, fear not why,
Fear not much while were alive,
Life is for living not living up tight,
See ya somewhere up in the sky,
Fear not die, I'll be alive for a million years, bye bye,
So not for legends, I'm forever young
My name shall survive
Through the darkest blocks, over kitchen stoves,
Over Pyrex pots, my name shall be passed down to generations
While debating up in barber shops, young slung, hung here,
Shorty, the nigga from here
With a little ambition just what we can become here,
And as the father passed his story down to his sons ears,
Younger kid, younger every year, yeah
So if you love me baby this is how you let me know.
Don’t ever let me go, thats how you let me know, baby,
(FREESTYLE, Left Hand just dance on chords C, G, A, F, G, D, F, A, fast G, then C with variations - I didn't have time to put in more variation, but you CAN! Right Hand total freestyle)
[Chorus]
(Really bold as the bass and drums start to come in, Left Hand dances on chords C, G, A, F, G, D, F, A, fast G, back to C, while Right Hand plays the Melody graceful and grand!)
[Jay-Z]
Slamming Bentley doors,
Hopping out of Porsche’s,
Popping up on Forbes lists,
Gorgeous,
Hold up,
Niggas thought I lost it,
They be talking bullshit
I be talking more shit
They nauseous,
Hold up,
I'll be here forever
You know, I'm on my fall shit,
And I ain’t waiting for closure, I will never forfeit,
Less than four bars,
Guru bring the chorus in,
Did you get the picture yet,
I’m painting you a portrait of young...
(FREESTYLE, Left Hand just dance on chords C, G, A, F, G, D, F, A, fast G, then C with variations - I didn't have time to put in more variation, but you CAN! Right Hand total freestyle)
[Chorus]
(Ending, simple Left Hand dances on chords C, G, A, F, G, D, F, A, fast G, back to C, while Right Hand plays the Melody gracefully and peacefully!)
