   Angry Young Man by Steve Earle. From Album Exit 0.

  I Couldn't find any chords or tabs for this song anywhere so I did it by ear. Here it is.

 [Intro]      F - C - F - C - F - C - G - C

               C
[Verse1]Got a lot of memories tied up in this place 
      
               F                 C
	So much time spent in so little space 
      
           C
	What looked like the world through the eyes of a child 
      
           G
	Kind of closes in on you after awhile 
        
                         Am                      C
	It's a place to grow up and a place to grow old 
         
                        F                         C
	You keep your mouth shut and you do what you're told 
       
                  C         
	I told mama the day that I ran 
       
                      G              C
	This ain't no place for an angry young man 


          
              F               C
	  Mama if you could see me right now
         
              F               C
	  You'd be so sure you failed me somehow 
        
               Am           F
  	  Mama you never could understand 
       
                G              C
	  There ain't no peace for an angry young man 


           F - C - G - C


                C
	A cheap hotel a long way from my home 

 
             F                   C
	So many people make you feel so alone


            C
	Dreams die easy out here in these streets

 
           G
	And hearts grow cold in the city heat 

 
                     Am             C
	I ain't never been the patient kind 

 
                 F                  C
	I got to live like I please or die tryin'


                 C
	At a filling station with a gun in my hand

 
                      G          C
	The only way for an angry young man 




                F                C
 	  Mama if you could see me right now

 
                F                C
	  You'd be so sure you failed me somehow 


                Am               F
  	  Mama you never could understand 


                G                C
	  There ain't no peace for an angry young man

           
           F - C - G - C

        
             C
	Got a lot of memories tied up in this place


             F                       C
	Tonight they're starin' me right in the face


             C
	A lonely grave on the outskirts of town
        
  
             G
	It's three in the morning, ain't no one around 


                      Am              C
	Just like a ghost I come out of the night


                      F               C
	But I'll be gone before the morning light
 
              
               C
	Mama I hope that you understand


               G                C
        This ain't no place for an angry young man



                F                C
 	  Mama if you could see me right now

 
                F                C
	  You'd be so sure you failed me somehow 


                Am               F
  	  Mama you never could understand 


                G                C
	  There ain't no peace for an angry young man





                F                C
 	  Mama if you could see me right now

 
                F                C
	  You'd be so sure you failed me somehow 


                Am               F
  	  Mama you never could understand 


                G                C
	  There ain't no peace for an angry young man



      F - C - F - C - F - C - G - C   F - C - F - C - F - C - G - C
