_ _ _ We [Am] were young, so [C] young, and always [F] broke, [G] Not that we _ [Am] ever cared, [F] _ _
[C] not that [G] we _ [C] ever cared.
_ Oh, [G] well, the holes [F] in the walls [C] were such a lot, _ _ _
[G] _ Welcome [C] to London town.
_ _ _ _ But [G] when you're new [F] to it all, [C]
and you think you're hot, You're [G] not planning [F] on hanging [C] around. _ _ _ _ _
People would go on [F] a different way, _ [C] I left to study the [A] band,
_ [F] _ _ _
[G] The note [F] came through [C] a letterbox, _ _
[G] _ In [F] the old _ [C] childlike hand. _ _ _
[Am] Oh, laughs and [C] jokes and drinks [F] and smokes, [C] And the lights _ on [F] the stairs.
_ _ We [Am] were young, so young, [C] _
and [F] always broke, [G] Not that we _ ever [Am] _ cared, [F] _ not [C] that [G] we _ [C] ever cared. _ _ _
[G] One day [C] I rode to where you were, _ [G] The _ [C] doorbell jangled and open. _ _ _
[G] They buzzed [F] me in, _ [C] I climbed the stairs, [G] In my boots [D] and a leather [C] coat. _ _ _ _
There's an old brass standing [F] there at the top, _ _
[C] Without her, which [Am]
is brutal.
_ [F] _ _ _
[G] It almost [F] seemed [C] like a knockin' shop, _ [G] When the girls [F] came out of [C] their rooms. _ _
[G] And they all [F] stood around, _
[C] Staring at me, [G] two brunettes [C] and a blonde.
_ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ Then [F] the old [C] brass showed up and said, _ [G] We don't know [F] where _ [C] she's gone. _ _ _ _
_ Later on I [F] picked up the phone, _ [C] And I took off _ down [Am] the line.
_ [F] _ _
[G] I suppose [F] by then [C] I'd _ realize, _ [G] You'd run [F] into a hard [C] time.
_ _ Oh, [Am] _ laughs and jokes [C]
and drinks [F] and smokes, [C] And the lights on [F] the stairs.
_ We [Am] were young, so young, [C]
and always [F] broke, [G]
Not that we _ _ [Am] ever [C] cared, _ not that [G] we _ [C] ever cared. _ _ _
