1. Young man, there's no need to feel down,
              Em  
    I said, young man, pick yourself off the ground,
              C       
    I said, young man, 'cause you're in a new town,
                D7  \  \  \ \  \
    there's no need to be unhappy.
     G   
2. Young man, there's a place you can go,
              Em
    I said, young man, when you're short on your dough,
              C  
    you can stay there, and I'm sure you will find
          D7  \  \    \  \    \
    many ways to have a good time.

3. Young man, are you listening to me?
             Em
    I said, young man, what do you want to be?
             C
    I said, young man, you can make real your dreams,
             D7 \   \     \   \    \
    but you got to know this one thing!


    G 
4. No man does it all by himself,
             Em
    I said, young man, put your pride on the shelf,
              C
    and just go there, to the Y-M-C-A,
         D7        \   \    \   \ \

5. Young man, I was once in your shoes,
            Em
    I said, I was down and out with the blues,
            C                               D7       \     \     \  \   \
    I felt no man cared if I were alive, I felt the whole world was so tight.
     G
6. That's when someone came up to me,
               Em
    and said, young man, take a walk up the street,
                C
    there's a place there called the Y-M-C-A,
               D7   \   \   \   \   \
    they can start you back on your way.
