Gm                   B              Eb                  Cm 
You wouldn't beli-   eve all the    things that I've    done 
You just can't       see            'cause you're       young 
I've paid my         dues           and I had my        fun 

Gm                   B       Cm 
You'll have yours    too,    son 
Gm                   B       Eb 
You'll have yours    too,    son 

Gm                      B                       Eb                    Cm 
You wouldn't beli-      eve how fast they can   take it aw-           ay 
You're walking 'round   free and in             chains the next       day 
Time has a              way of                  breaking you          down 

               Gm               B       Eb 
Piece by piece from your        tooth   to your          
Gm                              B       Cm 
claw 


Gm    B                      Eb           Cm 
O-    oh,                    trust me my  son 
Gm    F                      Gm           B    Cm 
Ye-   ah,'cause you're sti-  ll young 

(Gm) 

Gm                      B                       Eb                      Cm 
You wouldn't beli-      eve all the             things that I've        seen 
The girls I have        known,                  and places I've         been 
I've stood at           Pompeii, prayed to      stones in Del-          hi 
But you don't see       shit when you           look at me 

Gm                      B                       Eb                      Cm 
I've watched the        smoke rise from a       prince's                pyre 
It don't look much      different               from a beggar's         fire  
Yeah,I know,            know you d-             on't think much of      me 

Gm                      B     Eb 
But in time,             
Gm                      B     Cm 
you'll see 

Gm    B                   Eb                Cm 
A-    ah,in               time, my          son 
Gm    F                   Gm                B    Cm 
Ye-   ah,'cause you're    still young 

Gm      B                     Eb            Cm 
Don't   do                    what I've     done 
Gm      F                     Gm            B    Cm 
O-      oh, when I was        young 

(Gm B Eb Cm) 

Gm              B                  Eb                Cm 
I've got some   wisdom from the    time that I've    done 

Gm      Gm      F                                    Gm 
Yeah,   yeah,   yeah, but you're still               young
