Song Of A Young Man by Larasee County
Song Of A Young Man
Tuning: E A D G B E
Capo: 1st fret
[Intro]
C G C
[Verse 1]
C F C
Desperation in the eyes of a young man ain’t so sweet
C F G
When you’re chewing at the last straw of lonesome, broken defeat
C F C
He has been there once, repeated twice and seen it all unfold
C G C
From his unlearned mistakes that pave a road of misfortune
C F C
The world will hold him tight, keep his half-laced boots close to the ground
C F G
The sky may darken, the rain can wash away his furrowed brow
C F C
He will beat his chest in attempt to run through a brick wall
C G C
Till he’s broken through and stands on ground no honest man can fall
[Chorus]
F C
He’s seen it happen, he ain’t so sad
C F G
But the temper of a young man always seems to set him back
F C
There are folks talking and he ain’t listening
C F G
If you only could imagine the images he’s seeing
F C Em Am
So stand out of his way when you see him coming through
F G C
He ain’t looking to harm you
[Verse 2]
C F C
The day now drifts away as a young man stinks in his own stew
C F G
Woke with plenty of ambition that was gone by afternoon
C F C
And as he sits and ponders, curls his toes and thinks what can he do
C G C
The pot of coffee’s burnt and sunlights been replaced by the moon
C F C
And he will wrestle his own worries till they’re buried in the ground
C F G
He’s a bull in a China-shop, too stubborn to let down
C F C
A young man huffs and puffs and argues till his mind makes not a sound
C G C
Pours himself a double glass of Scotch to wash down 15 rounds
C F C
But don’t you doubt him, don’t go write off to the newspapers in town
C F G
Even though he’s broken his guts don’t make a frown
C F C
And that is what he’s got and that’s all he’s ever had
C G C
And for that you can thank his daddy lending a strong back
[Chorus]
F C
He’s seen it happen, he ain’t so sad
C F G
But the temper of a young man always seems to set him back
F C
There are folks talking and he ain’t listening
C F G
If you only could imagine the images he’s seeing
F C Em Am
So stand out of his way when you see him coming through
F G C
He ain’t looking to harm you
F C Em Am
Yes I said stand out of his way when you see him coming through
F G C
He ain’t looking to harm you
