When I Was A Young Man Chords by Hugh Cornwell

[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ When I was a young man, [A] _ [B] when I [E] was a young [B] _ [F#] man, [B] _ _
[C#m] I _ [B] navigated [A] stormy [G#] seas _
[F#] between [E] the shifting [B] sands.
When I [E] was a young man, [A] _ _ [E] when I was a young [B] man, [F#] _ [B] I _
[C#m] _ [B] investigated _ [A] all my [G#] needs [F#] whenever
_ [E] I had [B] plans. _ _
[Am] Mother, please [G] watch me for [D] what's coming.
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _
[A] Children, I've [G] left you for [D] regret.
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Now I'm not a young [B] man, _ [A] _ _ [E] now I'm not a young [B] man.
[F#] _ [B] _ _
[C#m] The ship's [B] the same, [A] but I [G#] refrain [F#m] from shouting [E] what I [B] know.
Now I'm [E] not a young [B] man, _ [A] _ _ [B] now I'm [E] not a young [B] man. _ _ _ _
[C#m] As years [B] go by [A] and things they [G#] die, [F#] they leave [E] me living [B] slow. _ _
[C] Mother, [A] I [G] remember the [D] chadai on [F] the rock, _ _
[Am] _ _ got [G] a grip for [F#] the [Bm] childhood and [F] for her. _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ When I was a young man, [A] _ [E] felt just like an old [B] man. _ _ _ _
[E] _ [B] My memory [A] has failed on [G#] me [F#] and left [E] me holding [B] camels.
Now I'm [E] not a young [B] man, [A] _ [E] don't want to be a young [B] man. _ _ _
[C#m] There's no [B] attraction [A] I [G#] can't see, [F#] I stick [E] to making [B] plans. _ _
[Am] Mother, I [G] remember you [D] will beg for [F] your child, _
[A] _ _ I [G] will beg for [D] your sons.
