(G) Young man, young man
You don?t (C) know who I (G) am
But (C) I use to (D) be just like (G) you
(G) Well I?d dance and I?d sing
I was the (C) prettiest (G) thing
With (C) nothing but (D) livin? to (G) do
Around and around
through every juke joint in town
The high life was all that I knew
But I thought life was fine
I had my friends, my dope, my wine
And nothing but livin? to do
Now (C) everywhere I?d go
(G) I?d walk high and proud
Any thing on my mind
Well I (C) spoke it right out (D) loud
I was (G) king of the world
Oh but (C) still just a (G) fool
With (C) nothing but (D) livin? to (G) do
Young man, young man
Don?t you be like I am
Those good times are faded like my youth
Now my friends are all gone
And I just hang around alone
With nothing but livin? to do
I got nothing but livin? to do
