When I Was A Young Man
Capo 3

D C G (X4)

D               C     G    D              C               G   
Oh When I Was A Young Man, I stood on the shoulder of the road
D     C          G        D      C               G
I had no responsibilities, I was carryin’ all my clothes
D     C               G      D            C          G
I was hitchhikin’ to nowhere, cause I had nowhere to be
D        C           G        D          C          G    A
And I had nothin’ to live for, and I was feelin’ so free

Chorus:
A       D                 A       D         A      D
I was a Rhinestone Cowboy, I was a Longhair Redneck
A       D      A        D       A       D      A        D
I was a loner, I was an Outlaw, I was a Rebel, I was a renegade
A     D  A     D  A     D A            D
I was a, I was a, I was a When I Was A Young Man.

D C G (X4)

D            C     G    D       C                 G
When I Was A Young Man, I would drink and I would fight
D       C           G        D      C          G
I would ride my old Panhead, ah now that was a sight
D    C            G         D          C           G
Long hair blowing behind me, I kept my face in the breeze
D       C           G        D       C           G      A 
Now get out on that highway, just as cool as you please.
