Young Man

INTRO: E B A (twice)

E
Mama cries Son, don't leave town
C#m
Find a girl and settle down
A
Well I hate to break her heart
F#m7                                    E
But that's not in the cards while I'm a young man


E
She says I could find a job
C#m
In the fields or on the docks
A
But I've always had a dream
F#m7                             E
To see all I can see while I'm a young man


CHORUS:

B                             A                E
When I'm just an old man on a front porch in a chair
                                  C#m  B
Rocking with the memories from my past
                                           A            E
The lines you see on my face should tell a tale of no regrets
               A                  B                  A    B  A (last time - to TAG)
I want to look forward to looking back on the race I ran
             E     B    A    E   B   A
When I was a young man


E
I want to see those seven seas
C#m
Climb the highest mountain peak
A
Make it my career
F#m7                                        E            D/F#
To make the most of every year while I'm a young man


BRIDGE:

G                 C
Daddy says young man
D                   G     G/F#    C             D
I know you have to stand on your own you can't sit at home
G              C      D              G     G/F# C
He says I understand, once I had big plans like you
        D         E     B  A
I was a young man too

(REPEAT CHORUS)

TAG:
A    B           A     B  A   B

E                B    A
I'm just a young man

I'm just a young man
