Forever Young by Youth Group
Forever Young
Standard Tuning
Intro:
During this and kinda through the whole song there should be another guitar using a
effect that plays the B string something like
--7-----0-----2-----0-----2-----7 and so on. There's too much going on during the
for me to hear it.

For the 1st verse that whole thing is repeated a couple of times, minus the little
2 part. For the second verse and throughout the song they play around with that scale
while guitar plays the bar chords, adding notes here and there, but that's pretty mucð
what the intro is. Listen to the song for timing, because I don't feel like showing
where it with the words. It should be self-explanatory.
Verse:
B G#m F# G#m
Chorus:
B F# G#m E
Forever young, I wanna be forever young,
F# G#m E
Do you really wanna live forever? forever, forever
Solo:
Play the chorus chords twice through.
