Ballad Of The Sad Young Men Chords by Jane Monheit

[B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] Sing [A] the [Ab] song of [Gm] sad [Gb] young [F] men
[Em] _ _ [Eb] Glasses [Db] full of [Gb] red _
[B] _ Though the [E] news is [B] bad [Ebm]
[E] again
Kiss your dreams goodbye
[B] _
[E] [Ab] Oh, the sad young _ [G]
men
[Abm] Sitting [B] in the [A] _ [Eb] bar
[Abm] _ _ Knowing [Bm] [Dbm] New Year _ [Gb]
nights
Dressing all the stars
_ [Ab] _ [A]
[Dbm] Oh, the sad young [Bbm] men
[Eb] Drifting [Abm] through the town
_ [Cm] Drinking [Abm] _
[E] up the [B] night
_ _ [Gb] _
[G] Trying [Ebm] not to drown
[Gb] _ [Ab] _ [Am] _ _
[Dbm] _ _ [E] Oh, the [Ab] sad young _ [E]
men
[Ebm] Singing in the [E] cold
[Fm] _
[Ab] _ [E] Trying [Ebm] to [E] forget
[Gb] _
[Ebm] As they're growing _ old
[Ab] _ _ _
[E] Oh, the sad young [Bb] men
_ [Eb]
Choking [Abm] on their words
_ [Db] Trying _
[F] to [E] be brave
[B] _ [Gb] Running _ [B] from the [Db] truth
[Abm] _ [E] La, [Dbm] _

[Abm] Sad young [E] men are [Abm] growing old [Dbm] _ [Abm] _ That's the [B] cruelest _ [E] part
All the [Gb] sad young [Eb] _ [Abm] men Seek a [G]

[E] _ [B] Someone [E] they can hold [Gb] _ for a little while
[Gbm] _ [Ab] _ _ [Gbm] Tired [Abm] little [Ab] girl [Db] does the [Abm] best she can _

_ _ [Dbm] _ _ [Ab] While the grimy [Eb] moon _ [Abm] Watches from [Gbm] _ [Dbm] _ [B] above
[E] _ [B] [E] All [B] the [Db] sad [B] young [Bb] men [Gb] Play the making [E] _ [Gb] _
[E] [D] of
[Ab] _ [E] Bliss be [Gb] gone [E] _
[Eb] [Dbm] Shine [G] for sad [Abm] young _ _ _
[Db] men
Let [E] your _ gentle [Gb] _ light [Abm] Guide them home _ _ [Ab] tonight
_ [E] _ [Abm] [Gb] All [B] the sad [Gb] _ young _ _ [Eb] _
