G C G C Em D
Youthful heartsG  
get sCtressed along the rGoad
and Cburied under Emall they’ve come to Dknow.
Livin' Gfast.
This wCilderness won’t lGast.
These Cdays just blow Emaway into the Dpast.
If I get Cold I’m living Geasy,
find a Dnice old country Emhome.
Let the Cland do what she Gwants to.
Leave her Emwild and overgDrown.
And when I’m Csure my days are Gnumbered
find a Dnice place in the Emfields
and thank that lCittle voice insGide my head 
for Emsuch good compaDny.
(GUITAR SOLO 1)
 G   C   G   C   Em   Dx2
And when we Cgot here we were yGoung men.
What we've dDone has made us Emold.
Left to dCie out in these fGrozen fields
so Emfar away from Dhome.
And if I lCive to see the eGnd 
I’m gonna Dmake a brand new Emstart
but I’ll Cnever be the Gsame again
withEmout my youthful Dheart.

Let the Cland do what she Gwants to.

find a Dnice place in the Emfields
and thank that lCittle voice insGide my head
