Jay Smith - Young Guns Chords

[Verse]
G
Remember when you and I first met
             D
Back when we were both heading for seventeen
          G                         C
Trying to pick up the girls playing hard to get
    G                   D
And life was but a dream
         G
You were banging the drums to my guitar
       D
At one hundred twenty decibel
        Em                     C
We were small town boys with a big town attitude
G                   D
Ready to raise some hell
 
[Pre-Chorus]
C
Bottoms up
C
Until we drop
    Em                D
I'd buy you another round
 
[Chorus]
G
Young guns
        D
We were young guns
        Em
We were wild and free
      C
On an endless ride
   G                  D
Nothing could hold us down
D
When we were
G
Young guns
        D
We were young guns
         Em
We would crash and burn
        C
Just to have some fun
G                   Em  D G
Back when life had just begun
 
[Verse]
G
Late nights drinkin' in your back yard
         D
Playing Johnny Cash singing Hurt
             Em                   C
Then we were honky tonkin' in the back of your car
       G                      D
It was you and me against the world
             G
And we would hold on tight
G
All through the night
D
Burnin' gasoline
        Em
And the flames went higher
C
Hearts on fire
G                  D
We were travellin' free
 
[Pre-Chorus]
C
Bottoms up
C
Until we drop
    Em                D
I'd buy you another round
 
[Chorus]
G
Young guns
        D
We were young guns
        Em
We were wild and free
      C
On an endless ride
   G                  D
Nothing could hold us down
D
When we were
G
Young guns
        D
We were young guns
         Em
We would crash and burn
        C
Just to have some fun
G                   Em  D C
Back when life had just begun
 
[Solo]
C Em D D
C Em D D
         C
And then all of sudden
       Em                  D
twenty years and more have passed
           C
We used to say whatever comes our way
Em          D
we'd always last
 
[Bridge]
G
Hey old friend, where are you now
        D
Are you still playing rock'n'roll
         Em                     C
All I've got is this fading photograph
          G                D
We were never ever growing old
D
Yeah
 
[Chorus]
G
Young guns
        D
We were young guns
        Em
We were wild and free
      C
On an endless ride
   G                  D
Nothing could hold us down
D
When we were
G
Young guns
        D
We were young guns
         Em
We would crash and burn
        C
Just to have some fun
G                   Em  D C     G
Back when life had just begun
