VERSE 1
********
C G
Well, a cheeky young-a lad took the rise out of me
Am F
So I clipped his ear, I was twenty-three
C Am Em G
And I laughed when he ran, said that he'd tell his dad
C G
'Cause I’d done the same when I was a boy
Am F
When cheeking grownups was a young lad’s joy
C Am Em G
But you never let on that you'd gone and done anything bad
F G
No, you never let on that you'd gone and done anything bad

VERSE 2
********
C G
Then a cheeky young-a lad took the mick out of me
Am F
So I chased him off, I was thirty-three
C Am Em G
And I got close enough to see the tear in his eye
C G
And I said, "If you talk like that once more
Am F
I'll tell your dad and you'll get what for"
C Am Em G
But I smiled to myself, next time the laddie walked by
F G
Yes, I smiled to myself the next time the laddie walked by

CHORUS

Am
Cheeky young-a lad, like I used to be
F
Cheeky young-a lad, oh, why can't you see?
D G
Cheeky young-a lad, one day you'll be just like me

VERSE 3
********
C G
Well, a cheeky young-a lad stood and swore at me
Am F
So I swore right back, I was forty-three
C Am Em G
And I could give as good as I got any day of the year
C G
But it made me boil and it made me rage
Am F
It made me feel every year my age
C Am Em G
And when he stood his ground, well I tell you, then I found fear
F G
When he stood his ground, well I tell you, then I found fear
E|E|---------------||--------

VERSE 4
********
C G
Well, a cheeky young lad came and jostled me
Am F
He just pushed right past, I was fifty-three
C Am Em G
And when I shouted, "Hey!" he just walked away with a sneer
C G
And I raised my fist, but I felt afraid
Am F
Of the young lad's swagger and the world we'd made
C Am Em G
And I wished it was like it had been just yesteryear
F G
Yes, I wished it was like it had been just yesteryear
E|E|---------------||--------
VERSE 5
********
C G
Because a cheeky young lad came and battered me
Am F
Took my money and ran and I’m sixty-three
C Am Em G
And I wish I was dead, instead of being kept alive
C G
Because a cheeky young lad is waiting for me
Am F
If ever I get to seventy-three
C Am Em G
And the next time, I don't think I can survive
F G C Am
A cheeky young lad who's waiting for me to arrive
F G C Am F G
The cheeky young lad who's waiting for me to arrive
