Young Mans Blues chords by Parker McCollum

• Capo on 1st

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Capo 1

I found it best to do hammer-on's for the G and the C but try whatever sounds best for you.

Intro:

G C G C


Verse 1:
 G (hammer on)
Used to run down county road 2854
C (Hammer on)
Now I'm the boy that don't come around no more
D               C           G
Sometimes I wonder if she'll even still remember my name

Verse 2:
G (Hammer on)
Light a cigarette and roll the windows down
 C (Hammer on)
You can hear them diesels coming outta town
D             C              G
What if I'm scared to go back. What if nothing's the same?


Chorus 1:
Em             C       G
Well it just might be the hardest thing I do
Em              C            D
Yeah, Well, I can't seem to shake these Young Man's Blues


Verse 3:
G (Hammer on)
I still see them double gates swinging away
C (Hammer on)
Nowadays that high gate don't seem so high
D            C              G
I wonder if that rodeo man still lives across the street


Verse 4:
G (Hammer on)
Don't wanna say "Goodbye" but it's time I guess
C (Hammer on)
Next time I drive by I hope it hurts a little less
D         C         D
Growin' up ain't nuts cracked up to be


Chorus 2:
Em             C       G
Well it just might be the hardest thing I do
Em               C        D
Yeah, Well, memory lane won't let me hold on through
Em              C            D
Yeah, Well, I can't seem to shake these Young Man's Blues
Em             C       G
Well it just might be the hardest thing I do
Em              C            D
Yeah, Well, I can't seem to shake these Young Man's Blues

Outro:

G (hammer on)
Used to run down county road 2854
C (Hammer on)
Now I'm the boy that don't come around no more
D               C           G
Sometimes I wonder if she'll even still remember my name
