DATE: Wednesday, 3rd December 2003.

FILE DESCRIPTION: A Chord and TAB book for the album:

"Youth & Young Manhood" by the Kings Of Leon.

WRITER'S NOTES: First off, a big thank you to all the people who have e-mailed

me to say well done for doing the TAB. So many have struggled

to find anything suitable.

So here it is! The complete chord & TAB book to the best

debut album since Definitely Maybe! I've worked everything out

as best I can, but Caleb's southern drawl is kinda hard to get

to grips with on a couple of songs; mostly the middle 8 part

on "Trani", but I think it's as near as I'm gonnae get.

Here's a few details of what I used to gather information:

"SPIRAL STAIRCASE", "MOLLY'S CHAMBERS" and "JOE'S HEAD" were

all on BBC1 Scotland, which showed 6 programs from "T In The

Park", 2003.(I was there and the Kings were fantastic!) 3 of

the shows had the Kings on, so I managed to get the lyrics and

chords worked out better. "CALIFORNIA WAITING" was played on

"FRIDAY NIGHT WITH JONATHAN ROSS" on BBC1, so again I got a

good look at what was being played. "MOLLY'S CHAMBERS" was also

played on the "LATE SHOW WITH DAVID LETTERMAN". Various videos, TV

appearances and photos were also used. I ripped the tracks to MP3

and loaded them into GOLDWAVE - (www.goldwave.com) which has

excellent facilities to swap channels, isolate vocals etc. It was

a lot easier, and more informative than just listening to the CD

via your stereo and some headphones! Although I did use my

headphones too. You'll see on the "HAPPY ALONE" track that

Matthew plays in Drop D; Caleb stays in Standard tuning

throughout the album. Also, on "GENIUS", Matthew uses Open G

tuning. I know this because the Kings, well Matthew, was

interviewed in the September 2003 issue of GUITAR magazine,

(The one with The Darkness (Great Band) on the cover) and he said

that the only time the machineheads deviate from standard tuning

is on the two said tracks. I originally got the best part of the

lyrics from the excellent, HAPPYALONE.COM, (www.happyalone.com)

website but some of them weren't right, so using the vocal

isolation technique on GOLDWAVE, I sorted out most of the ropey

lyrics.

I hope this will be of use to you; it should be!

You can use this as and when/where you like. Please don't use

it for profit; It wasn't created for that! Webmasters can use this

file without my permission, just as long as I am credited as the

author.

Thanks again, and HAVE FUN!

Deano.

[Verse 1] B

You know you coulda been a wonder,

Takin' your circus to the sky-y-y

You couldn't take it on the tightrope,

No, you had to take it on the side,

You always like it undercover,

Tucked in between your dirty she-e-ets,

But no one's even evident to ya,

A G F# E

In between the hollers and the scre-e-eams.

[Chorus 1]

And a said nah nah,

B A G F# E

Hey hey, another dirty bird ain't givin' out a taste, hey,

B A G F# E

In the black of the night, 'til the red morning light.

[Verse 2] B

You got your cosy little corner,

All night your jammin' on your di-i-ick

And hangin' out just like a street sign,

And pulled a twenty dollar tri-i-ick,

I hear you're blowin' like a feather,

And then they rub it in your fa-a-ace,

Oh once they've had all they're fun, hun,

A G F# E

You'll work the bottom of the ca-a-age.

[Chorus 2]

And a said nah nah,

B A G F# E

Hey hey, another dirty bird ain't givin' out a taste, hey,

B A G F# E

In the black of the night, 'til the red morning light.

And a said nah nah,

[Verse 1] D

On our way, and so it seems, blooming flowers waltz be-fore me,

Rollin' numbers, passin' time, got to get out-side the city.

In the mornin', all will see, just how crazy young love can be,

On our own, away again, don't get down my darlin'.

[Chorus 1] D

Am gone tangle my face hair, a gone tickle your daughter,

At three o'clock in the morning, they all cry to me,

I'll be prancin' around in my high heels, and your cherry lipstick,

Look outta your window, I'm on your street.

[Verse 2] D

Miles away, so unclear, almost lost it in Montana,

Let's pull over, have us a choke, I love to watch you when your dancin'.

I wonder if they, ever dream, they would get just what we gave them,

All wrapped up in, bein' nineteen, chasin' stars that are fallin'.

[Chorus 2] D

Am gone tangle my face hair, gone tickle your daughter,

At three o'clock in the mornin', they all cry to me,

I'll be prancin' around in my high heels, and your cherry lipstick,

Look out your window, and that's where I'll be, C'Mon Caleb, Aaooww!

And when that train heads home,

They' gone be so, gone gone you ain't never gonna see me no more,

Gone gone you ain't nothin' to me,

I'll be prancin' around in my high heels, your cherry lipstick,

Look outta your window, and that's where I'll be.

C'Mon Caleb, Caleb, Caleb, Caleb, Caleb.
