If you see this and appreciate it, please drop me a line and let me know. I`d hate for it to fall on deaf ears.

Paul Weller chord progressions are usually quite odd and difficult to figure out -- he doesn`t seem to follow any rules, yet somehow manages to pull it off. This song is no exception.
----- WHEN YOU`RE YOUNG By the Jam (initially released only as a single, now available on Snap! et. al.)

A Fm Life is time you spend alone when you`re young
A Fm Used to fall in love with everyone
A Fm Any guitar and any bass drum
D G Life is a drink, and you get drunk
E When you`re young
[As above] Life is new and there`s things to be done You can`t wait to be grown up Acceptance into the capital world You pull out some weed and their bullets are warm When you`re young
A E |----------0-----0-----0-----0-----------------------------| |----------------------------------0-----0-----0-----0-----| |-------2-----2-----2-----2--------------------------------| |-------------------------------2-----2-----2-----2--------| |----------------------------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------------------------| But you find out life isn`t like that [As above] It`s so hard to comprehend But you set up your dreams To have them smashed in the end
D But you don`t mind Cm You got time on your side Bm And they`re never gonna F make you stand in line D E A Fm A Fm You`re just waiting for the right time
You`re feeling so great you can`t be stopped when you`re young You swear you`re never ever gonna work for someone No corporations for the new age sons Tears of rage roll down your face But still you says it`s fun
But you find out life isn`t like that You try hard to understand Well the world is your oyster but your future`s a clam It`s got you in its grip Before you`re born You`re stoned with a user that I can`t afford[*] They`ll let you be a king But you`re really a pawn

You`re feeling so bright you can`t be stopped when you`re young
Country -- the lights are going out In millions of homes and thousands of flats Goin` out, goin` out, goin` out, goin` out Goin` out, goin` out, goin` out, goin` out
