There's a pGlace in the world for the anDgry young man
With his Am7working class ties and his rDadical plans
He reGfuses to bend, he reDfuses to crawl,
And He's Am7always at home with his bacDk to the wall.
And he's pFroud of his sG/Bcars and the bCattles he's lost,
And he G/Bstruggles and blAeeds as he hDangs on his cross-
And he Glikes to be known as the aDngry youngCmaj7 man. D G/B C Am7 G/B C F C
LEAD IN: Cmaj7 D G/B C Am7 G/B C
Give a mGoment or two to the aDngry young man,
With his Am7foot in his mouth and his Dheart in his hand.
He's been Gstabbed in the back, he's been miDsunderstood,
It's a Am7comfort to know his intDentions are good.
And he Fsits in a rG/Boom with a lCock on the door,
With his G/Bmaps and his Amedals laid oDut on the floor
And he lGikes to be known as the aDngry young Cmaj7man. D G/B C Am7 G/B C
FI believe I've Gm7passed the age
OfBb consciousness and Crighteous rage
I Ffound that just survBbiving
was a Cnoble fight. D
IG once believed in Am7causes too,
I Chad my pointless Dpoint of view,
And G/Blife went on no Cmatter who was wrongA or right.
DOh.
And there's Galways a place for the aDngry young man,
With his Am7fist in the air and his heDad in the sand.
And he's Gnever been able to leDarn from mistakes,
So he Am7can't understand why his hDeart always breaks.
And his hFonor is pG/Bure and his cCourage as well,
And he's G/Bfair and he's tArue and he's bDoring as hell-
And he'll Ggo to the grave as an Dangry old Cmaj7man. D G/B C Am7 G/B C
