[C]Young man... there’s no need to feel down, I said
[Am]Young man... pick yourself off the ground, I said

There’s no [G]need... [F]to... [G]be... [F]un[C]hap[G]py
[C]Young man... there’s a place you can go, I said
[Am]Young man... when you’re short on your dough, you can
[Dm]Stay there... and I’m sure you will find
Many [G]ways... [F]to... [G]have... [F]a... [C]good... [G]time

[Verse 2]
[C]Young man... are you listening to me, I said
[Am]Young man... what do you want to be, I said
[Dm]Young man... you can make real your dreams
But you’ve [G]got... [F]to... [G]know... [F]this... [C]one... [G]thing

[Verse 3]
[C]Young man... I was once in your shoes, I said
[Am]I was... down and out with the blues, I felt
[Dm]No man... cared if I were alive
