Verse 1:
              Csus4                  C
Well, they say it's kinda fright'nin'
      Csus4                  C
how this younger generation swings.
               Bbsus2              Bb
You know, it's more than just some new sensation.
      Csus4             C
Well, the kid is into losin' sleep
       Csus4                   C
and he don't come home for half the week.

You know, it's more than just an aggravation.

they try and drum him out of town.
