Angry Young Man by Steve Earle

INTRO: C  G  C  Em7  C  D  G

         G
Got a lot of memories tied up in this place
          C                    G
So much time spent in so little space 

What looked like the world through the eyes of a child 
	      D
Kind of closes in on you after awhile 
            EM7                             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 

I told mama the day that I ran 
                 D                   G
This ain't no place for an angry young  man 

(Repeat chords for all verses)

      C                      G
Mama if you could see me right now 
     C                       G
You'd be so sure you failed me somehow 
               EM7            C
Mama you never could under stand 
                 D                   G
There ain't no peace for an angry young man 

C   G   D   G

A cheap hotel a long way from my home 
So many people make you feel so alone 
Dreams die easy out here in these streets 
And hearts grow cold in the city heat 
I ain't never been the patient kind 
I got to live like I please or die tryin' 
At a filling station with a gun in my hand 
The only way for an angry young man 

Repeat  Chorus

 C   G   D   G

Got a lot of memories tied up in this place 
Tonight they're starin' me right in the face 
A lonely grave on the outskirts of town 
It's three in the morning, ain't no one around 
Just like a ghost I come out of the night 
But I'll be gone before the morning light 
Mama I hope that you understand 
This ain't no place for an angry young man 

Repeat Chorus

G    C    G
G     C    G
