_ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
_ [Db] _ _ [Gb] Sing [Db] a song of [Abm] sad [Fm] young men, _ [F] _ _
[Ebm] _ glasses _ [Ab] full of rye,
_ _ [Db] _ [Bbm] _ All the news [Gb] is bad [Fm] again, _ _
[Db] _ _ [Bbm] kiss your dreams [Db] goodbye.
_ _ [Fm] _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _
All the [G] sad young men [Gb] _ _
[C] _ _ _ [Fm] _ sitting in [Abm] the bars,
[E] _ _ _ [Gb] _ _
_ Knowing neon _ lights, _ [Ab] _ _ [Fm] missing all the stars.
_ [Ab] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _
[Ebm] All the sad young men [Cm] _ _
[A] drifting through [Bbm] the _ town,
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
Drinking [Ebm] up the _ night, _ [Ab] _
_ _ _ _ trying [Cm] not to drown.
[Fm] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ [Ebm] _ _ All the [F] sad young men [C] _ _ [Fm] _
_ _ singing in the [Abm] cold,
_ [G] _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ Trying to [Ebm] forget _ _ [D] that _ [Fm] _ they're growing _ _ _ [B] old.
_ [Bb] _ _ _ [Ebm] All the sad young men _ _ [C] _
[F] choking on [Bbm] their youth, _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ Trying to be brave, _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ running from the truth. _

_ [Gb] _ [Db] Autumn _ [Gb] turns the leaves [Fm] to gold, [Ebm] _ _ _
slowly dies [Gb] the _ heart.
[Ab] _
_ [Db] _ [Gb] Sad young men [Gb]
are growing [Fm] _ old, [Eb] _ _
that's [Ab] the _ [Gb] cruelest _ [Db]
part.
_ _ [Ebm] _ _ All the sad [Gm] young men [Gb] _ _ [C] _ _
[Fm] _ seek [C] a certain [Ab] _
smile,
[G] _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ Someone [Fm] they [Ebm] can hold [Ab] _
for [Fm] a little while. _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [Eb] Tired little girl _ [C] _ _ [B] does the best [Bbm] she can, _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ Trying [Eb] to be gay [Db] _ _ [Fm] for [Ab] _
_ _ a [Fm] sad young man.
_ _ _ [E] _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ [Ebm] _ While the [Gm] grimy _ moon [C] _ _ _ [Fm] _ _
watches _ [Abm] from above,
[G] _
_ _ _ [Gb] All the _ sad [Ebm] young _ [Gb] men _ _ [Fm]
played making love.
_ _ [E] _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ [Ebm] _ Misbegotten _ moon _ [Gm] _ shined [B] for sad [Bbm] young men.
_ _ _ [Cm] _
_ _ _ [Fm] _ [Ab] Let [Eb] your _ _ _ gentle [Fm] _ _ [Bb] light _ _ [Abm] guide them _ _ [Db] _
[Fm] home tonight.
[E] _ _ _ [Ebm] _
_ _ [Fm] All the _ [Gb] _
sad _ [Ab] _ _ young _ _ _ [Db] men. _ _ _ _
