[Intro]      C - G - C - G - C - G - D - G

               G
[Verse1]Got a lot of memories tied up in this place 
      
               C                 G
      So much time spent in so little space 
      
           G
      What looked like the world through the eyes of a child 
      
           D
      Kind of closes in on you after awhile 
        
                         Em                      G
      It's a place to grow up and a place to grow old 
         
                        C                         G
      You keep your mouth shut and you do what you're told 
       
                  G         
      I told mama the day that I ran 
       
                      D              G
      This ain't no place for an angry young man 


          
              C               G
        Mama if you could see me right now
         
              C               G
        You'd be so sure you failed me somehow 
        
               Em           C
          Mama you never could understand 
       
                D              G
        There ain't no peace for an angry young man 


           C - G - D - G


                G
      A cheap hotel a long way from my home 

 
             C                   G
      So many people make you feel so alone


            G
      Dreams die easy out here in these streets

 
           D
      And hearts grow cold in the city heat 

 
                     Em             G
      I ain't never been the patient kind 

 
                 C                  G
      I got to live like I please or die tryin'


                 G
      At a filling station with a gun in my hand

 
                      D          G
      The only way for an angry young man 




                C                G
         Mama if you could see me right now

 
                C                G
        You'd be so sure you failed me somehow 


                Em               C
          Mama you never could understand 


                D                G
        There ain't no peace for an angry young man

           
           C - G - D - G

        
             G
      Got a lot of memories tied up in this place


             C                       G
      Tonight they're starin' me right in the face


             G
      A lonely grave on the outskirts of town
        
  
             D
      It's three in the morning, ain't no one around 


                      Em              G
      Just like a ghost I come out of the night


                      C               G
      But I'll be gone before the morning light
 
              
               G
      Mama I hope that you understand


               D                G
        This ain't no place for an angry young man



                C                G
         Mama if you could see me right now

 
                C                G
        You'd be so sure you failed me somehow 


                Em               C
          Mama you never could understand 


                D                G
        There ain't no peace for an angry young man





                C                G
         Mama if you could see me right now

 
                C                G
        You'd be so sure you failed me somehow 


                Em               C
          Mama you never could understand 


                D                G
        There ain't no peace for an angry young man



      C - G - C - G - C - G - D - G   C - G - C - G - C - G - D - G
