Capo 4 
G
Young man, young man 
          C          G
You don?t know who I am 
    C        D            G
But I use to be just like you 
G
Well I?d dance and I?d sing 
          C         G
I was the prettiest thing 
     C           D         G
With nothing but livin? to do 
 
Around and around  

through every juke joint in town 

The high life was all that I knew 

But I thought life was fine 

I had my friends, my dope, my wine 

And nothing but livin? to do 
    C
Now everywhere I?d go 
G
I?d walk high and proud 

Any thing on my mind 
       C                  D
Well I spoke it right out loud 
      G
I was king of the world 
       C            G
Oh but still just a fool 
     C           D         G
With nothing but livin? to do 
 
Young man, young man 
Don?t you be like I am 
Those good times are faded like my youth 
Now my friends are all gone 
And I just hang around alone 
With nothing but livin? to do 
I got nothing but livin? to do
