Chain - I remember when I was young chords
Start Jamming...
Well, [G] I remember when I was young, [Bb] the world [C] had just begun and [G] I was happy.
I used to wonder about the earth [Bb] and how it moved [C] around the sun [G] so snappy.
Imagination going wild [Bb] makes a very [C] backward child, [G] they told me.
So back at school I'd sit around [Bb] just waiting [C] for the sound [G] so I could go home.
[C] Sometimes I think about it, it happens every day.
[D] I should [D] think of the present, cause the present's now.
[G] When I was young [Bb] I wanted [C] different kinds of [G] movies.
We'd light a smoke [Bb] and very [C] nearly choke, but we [G] had a real good time.
Growing old and then you get [Bb] through fires, [C] even get [G] inside a few wars.
So I'd just sit there all day [Bb] and let my mind [C] decay [G] some of them.
[C] Sometimes I think about it, it happens every day.
[D] I should think of the present, [Dm] cause the present's now.
[G] I remember when I was young [Bb] I had a [C] secret love, [G] never knew it.
Well, I'd do tricks up on my bike [Bb] that never turned [C] out right, I [G] always blew it.
The day we had to part [Bb] I had a [C] broken heart but [G] couldn't let on.
So I spent my holidays [Bb] thinking of [C] the ways I must [G] have gone wrong.
[C] Sometimes I think about it, it happens every day.
[D] I should think of the present, cause the present's now.

When I was young [Bb] the Beatles [C] turned me on, they [G] really blew my mind.
And with Jerry, Jack and Pam [Bb] we'd do what [C] we planned and [G] have a real good time.
And [Bb] blues, they really [C] blew a fuse [G] inside my head.
So with some friends we made a [Bb] stand and pumped out our [C] flute band, [G] it was a real good thing.
[C] Sometimes I think about it, it happens every day.
[Db] [D] I should think of the present, [G] cause the [A] present's [Dm] now.
[G] Well, I remember when I was young, [Bb] I remember [C] when I was young, I [G] surely do.
