Steve Earle - Angry Young Man guitar chord

Angry Young Man by Steve Earle

Intro: C G C EM7 C D G

G

Got a lot of memories tied up in this place

C G

So much time spent in so little space

What looked like the world through the eyes of a child

D

Kind of closes in on you after a while

EM7 G

It's a place to grow up and a place to grow old

C G

You keep your mouth shut and do as your told

I told mama the day that I ran

D G

This ain't no place for an angry young man

(Repeat chords for all verses)

Chorus

C G

Mama if you could see me right now

C G

You'd be sure you failed me some how

EM7 C

Mama you never could understand

D C

This ain"t no place for an angry young man

C G D G

G

A cheap hotel a long way from my home

C G

So many people make you feel so alone

Dreams die easy out here on the streets

D

And hearts grow cold in the city heat

EM7 G

I ain't never been the patient kind

C G

I got to live like I please or die trying

At a filling station with a gun in my hand

D G

The only way for an angry young man

(Repeat Chorur)

G C

Got a lot of memories tied up in this place

C G

Tonight they're staring me right in the face

A lonely grave on the outskirts of town

D

It's three in the morning and no ones around

EM7 G

Just like a ghost I come out of the night

C G

But I'll be gone by the morning light

Mama I hope you understand

D G

This ain't no place for an angry young man

Repeat chorus

G C G
