Sweet Young Thing:The Monkees.
Album - The Monkees - #1 USA in 1966
and UK in 1967.
INTRO: A  
#1.
AI know that something very strange is happening to my brain.
AI'm either feeling very good or else I am insane.
The Gseeds of doubt you planted have Astarted to grow wild.
But I Gfeel that I must yield before the Dwisdom of a Echild.
CHORUS:
AAnd it's love you bring..no, that I can't deny.
GWith your wings, I can learn to fly..sweet young Athing.
#2.
APeople try to talk to me, their words are ugly sounds.
ABut I resist all their attempts to try and bring me down.
GTurned on to the sunset like I've Anever done before.
I Glisten for your footsteps and your Dknock upon the Edoor.
CHORUS:
AAnd it's love you bring..no, that I can't deny.
GWith your wings, I can learn to fly..sweet young Athing.
(INTERLUDE:)  A      G  A  
OUTRO:
AAnd it's love you bring, with dreams of bluer skies.
GAll these things, when I see it in your eyes..
sweet young Athing..
Asweet..Eyoung..Athing..ahhh..
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
