Gogol Bordello

I Would Never Wanna Be Young Again

Gogol Bordello


Tom: Cm

Intro:   Bb
         Bb, F#


Bm
By the desperate 'n' confused

Emotion of the youth
                         F#
I was brought to Crisis land

Where after getting checked for fleas

And barricades of embassies
                                      Bm
I was sculpted to be overworked and silent

But since the early age

I broke out of the cage

And learned how to make marching drums
        F#
From a fish can

And I knew I'll run away

And so without further delay

I said "Two tears in a bucket
      Bm
Motherfuck it!"



         Em                  Bm
And it seems like I ran and ran
             Em               Bm
Through the garbage and quicksand
            Em                   
And after getting checked for fleas
       Bm
and barricades of embassies
F#
I would never never never never

wanna be young again!...

Key goes up: A, Bb, G

            Cm
But sudden wind it stole my hat
 
And I went on chasing it
                                     G   
Before I was just another burned out carnie

Every freak on every day

Lives a life one certain way
                                       Cm
And that way is ain't no nothin' but a birthright~

But since the early age

I broke out of the cage...
                               
And learned how to make marching drums
        G
From a fish can

And I knew I'll run away

And so without further delay

I said "Two tears in a bucket
      Cm
Motherfuck it!"




        Fm                  Cm 
And it seems like I ran and ran
            Fm                Cm
through the garbage and quicksand
            Fm
and after getting checked for fleas
           Cm
and barricades of embassies
G
I would never never never never

wanna be young again...

through the garbage and quicksand
            Fm
and after getting checked for fleas
           Cm
