Tom: G
G
Remember when you and I first met
D
Back when we were both heading for seventeen
G C
Trying to pick up the girls playing hard to get
G D
And life was but a dream
G
You were banging the drums to my guitar
D
At one hundred twenty decibel
Em C
We were small town boys with a big town attitude
G D
Ready to raise some hell
[Pre-Chorus]
C
Bottoms up
C
Until we drop
Em D
I'd buy you another round
[Chorus]
G
Young guns
D
We were young guns
Em
We were wild and free
C
On an endless ride
G D
Nothing could hold us down
D
When we were
G
Young guns
D
We were young guns
Em
We would crash and burn
C
Just to have some fun
G Em D G
Back when life had just begun
[Verse]
G
Late nights drinkin' in your back yard
D
Playing Johnny Cash singing Hurt
Em C
Then we were honky tonkin' in the back of your car
G D
It was you and me against the world
G
And we would hold on tight
G
All through the night
D
Burnin' gasoline
Em
And the flames went higher
C
Hearts on fire
G D
We were travellin' free
[Pre-Chorus]
C
Bottoms up
C
Until we drop
Em D
I'd buy you another round
[Chorus]
G
Young guns
D
We were young guns
Em
We were wild and free
C
On an endless ride
G D
Nothing could hold us down
D
When we were
G
Young guns
D
We were young guns
Em
We would crash and burn
C
Just to have some fun
G Em D C
Back when life had just begun
[Solo]
C Em D D
C Em D D
C
And then all of sudden
Em D
twenty years and more have passed
C
We used to say whatever comes our way
Em D
we'd always last
[Bridge]
G
Hey old friend, where are you now
D
Are you still playing rock'n'roll
Em C
All I've got is this fading photograph
G D
We were never ever growing old
D
Yeah
[Chorus]
G
Young guns
D
We were young guns
Em
We were wild and free
C
On an endless ride
G D
Nothing could hold us down
D
When we were
G
Young guns
D
We were young guns
Em
We would crash and burn
C
Just to have some fun
G Em D C G
Back when life had just begun
