Tabbed 1997 by Tilman Heckel
And here come the lyrics:
Young Man Blues
(Mose Allison)
as performed by The Who
(opening riff)
Uh well the young man
Ain't got nothing in the world these days
(opening riff again)
I said the young man
ain't got nothing in the world these days
(opening riff one more time)
Uh well you know in the old days
when the young man was a strong man
All the people, they stepped back
when the young man walked by
(yet one more time...)
But you now nowadays
Its the old man, he's got all the money...
And the young man, they ain't got
nothing in the world these days, I say...
(one last rfiff and then on with the solo)
They ain't got nothing...
They got sweet fuck-all!!!
(solo)
In the old days... * Roger is basically
In the old days.. * improvising (or ad-lib)
When the young man... * words (he's got to do
walked by... * something while the
They stepped BACK! * others are jamming!)
They stepped BACK! *
(opening riff to end)
Nowadays if you're the young man
They ain't got nothing in the world these days, I say...
They ain't got nothing!
They got sweeeeeeeeeeet FUCK-ALL!!!!
