Capo 4 
G5
Young man, young man 
          C5          G5
You don?t know who I am 
    C5        D5            G5
But I use to be just like you 
G5
Well I?d dance and I?d sing 
          C5         G5
I was the prettiest thing 
     C5           D5         G5
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 
    C5
Now everywhere I?d go 
G5
I?d walk high and proud 

Any thing on my mind 
       C5                  D5
Well I spoke it right out loud 
      G5
I was king of the world 
       C5            G5
Oh but still just a fool 
     C5           D5         G5
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
