Intro Gm

Gm
My last name is Younger I am the last Younger son
               C
The name I was given
             Gm
Was Luke 15:21
          C                 Gm
3 days of thunder 3 days of rain
                     C     Bb                    Gm
I come to be in this world   with a number and a name

Gm
My last name is Younger I am the last Younger son
             C                            Gm
I stand as a witness to the things I have done
                  C                          Gm
And I have caused sorrow yet I too have been pained
                      C     Bb            Gm
You cannot be in this world   and not get stained

Gm
My last name is Younger I am the last Younger son
             C                    Gm
I once had beliefs but now I have none
               C                         Gm
There is no forgiveness for old guns and knives
              C       Bb                         Gm
Perhaps it is fitting   we don't recall our past lives

Gm
My last name is Younger I am the last Younger son
           C                      Gm
There is a secret I never told anyone
                C                          Gm
Sometimes I see something in a few certain eyes
                 C      Bb                      Gm
And I behold the future   of how and when a man dies

Solo (chords as verse)

Gm
My last name is Younger I am the last Younger son
               C                     Gm
I won't get no older than the age of 21
                 C                            Gm
As I look in the mirror I see the future once more
                     C       Bb                       Gm
And an old friend is waiting   just beyond the closed door

Gm
My last name is Younger I am the last Younger son
               C
The name I was given
             Gm
Was Luke 15:21
          C                 Gm
3 days of thunder 3 days of rain
                     C     Bb                    Gm
I come to be in this world   with a number and a name
