Angry Young Man Chords

(ver. 1)
Steve Earle
   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]      C - G - C - G - C - G - D - G

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


          
              C               G
	  Mama if you could see me right now
         
              C               G
	  You'd be so sure you failed me somehow 
        
               Em           C
  	  Mama you never could understand 
       
                D              G
	  There ain't no peace 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


            G
	Dreams die easy out here in these streets

 
           D
	And hearts grow cold in the city heat 

 
                     Em             G
	I ain't never been the patient kind 

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


                 G
	At a filling station with a gun in my hand

 
                      D          G
	The only way for an angry young man 




                C                G
 	  Mama if you could see me right now

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


                Em               C
  	  Mama you never could understand 


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

           
           C - G - D - G

        
             G
	Got a lot of memories tied up in this place


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


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


                      Em              G
	Just like a ghost I come out of the night


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


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



                C                G
 	  Mama if you could see me right now

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


                Em               C
  	  Mama you never could understand 


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





                C                G
 	  Mama if you could see me right now

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


                Em               C
  	  Mama you never could understand 


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



      C - G - C - G - C - G - D - G   C - G - C - G - C - G - D - G
