C G D G  x6
(Bass comes in on 3rd, drums on 5th)
 
[Verse 1]
G                      C                       G
In the city there’s a thousand things I wanna say to you,
G                C                       G
But whenever I approach you, you make me look a fool.
Em                             C                     D
I wanna say, I wanna tell ya, about the young ideas,
         C                   D  Dsus4  D
But you turn them into fears.
 
[Verse 2]
G                       C                 G
In the city there’s a thousand faces all shining bright,
G                 C               G
And those golden faces are under twenty-five.
Em                                   C                 D
They wanna say, they gonna tell ya, about the young idea,
           C                               D  Dsus4  D
You better listen now you've said your bit.

G                 D      G D   D                        C
(scrape plectrum down string) And I know what you're thinking,
    C     G     D    G    D              Bm
You still think I am crap, but ya better listen man,
            C                    D  Dsus4  D
Because the kids know where it's at.
 
[Verse 3]
G                     C               G
In the city there’s a thousand men in uniforms,
G                        C                 G
And I've heard they now have the right to kill a man.
Em                               C               D
We wanna say, we gonna tell ya, about a young idea,
           C                               D   Dsus4  D
And if it don’t work at least we say we tried.
