Capotraste na 4ª casa
Intro: Em C
Em
My mother gave a mighty shout
C
Opened her legs and let me out
Hungry as a prairie dog
Young man in America
Young man in America
Em C
Hungry, hungry, running every which way
Young man in Americ-kay
Em
I come out like a cannonball
C
Come of age of alcohol
Raven in a field of rye
With a black and roving eye
Black and roving eye
Em C
Ravenous, ravenous, what you've got is not enough
Young man in America
A
Oh shelter
Mother shelter
A
Mother shelter us
Am
Oooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-oooh
Em
My father was a lord of land
C
My daddy was a repo man
He put me out into the street
He didn't give a damn for me
Did not give a damn
Em C
Daddy, daddy, gonna wish you never had me
I'm a young man
Em
I'm growing right before your eyes
C
I might grow to such a size
Blowing like a hurricane
Everyone will know my name
Everyone'll know my name
Em
Blowing in, blowing out,
C
Shadow on a mountaintop
Young man in America
A
Oh shepherd
Father shepherd
A
Father shepherd us
Am
Oooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-oooh
Em
In my feathers and furs
C
Clothes of many colours
Many men will envy me
When I'm in my finery
Me and my finery
Em C
Envy me, envy me, spending all of my bright money
Young man in Americ-kay
Em
Maybe I'll climb the stairs
C
With the girl with golden hair
Hold her like a sword and shield
Up against this lonely world
Up against the world
Em
It's a lonely, lonely world
C
For a yellow-headed girl
And a young man
BREAK: A (2x)
Am
Oooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-oooh
Em
Like the wind I make my moan
C
Howl in the canyon
There's a hollow in my bones
Em
Make me cry and carry on
C
Make the foam fly from my tongue
Make me want what I want
Another wayward son
Em
Waiting on oblivion
C
Waiting for a kingdom come to meet me in my sin
Waiting to be born again
Mother kiss me cheek and chin
Em
Mmm, a little nedicine
C
Mmm, I'm gonna shed my skin
Em
Mmm, and let me climb back in the bed you made me in
