[Intro]
E
Uncle Chive sits in by the bar through the night 
                            F#m
Won't you serve me one more memory 
                     E
Oh, when we, we were young 
E
In the sun there was ugly Kate by the sea 
                       F#m
With a belly full of little me
                      E
Oh the song that she sung
E
Lalala Lalalalala lalala 
              F#m
lalala lala lalalala lalala
            E
When you're young
[Verse]
E
There's a world in a tiny town
E                                     A
Where a girl chases rabbits round all day
   Am      E               B
We play always when you're young
[Chorus]
C#m       E
I can see far away
A
Heaven help the one percent
E                                  C#m
We're not going to pay our rent on time
          E
I can see only grey
B
All the world looks rosy when you're young
[Verse]
E
Johnny Rass
He's a loaded gun full of sun
                        F#m
Letting kingdom come undone
                        E
Oh it's fun when you're young
[Verse]
            E
When you're young
All the world is lost in the sun
                        A
And the world can do no harm
   Am        E                B
It seems we dream when you're young
[Chorus]
C#m       E
I can see far away
A
Heaven help the one percent
E                                  C#m
We're not going to pay our rent on time
          E
I can see shady grays
A
Money in for cigarettes
E
Hello money place your bets
C#m       E
I can see color days
A
Swimming at the summer shine
E                              C#m
Tell the teacher I'm out of my time
          E
I can see only grey
B
All the world looks rosy when you're young
[Bridge]
E                A
Son, we wish you well
     Am         E
Good health and fun
            B
When you're young
[Outro]
E
Uncle Chive, with his teeth in hand
                                            F#m
Said "Goodnight, won't you please sing me a lullaby
              E
Of when I- I was young"
