Status Quo

Young Pretender

Status Quo


Tom: Em

D5                                      A5
You thought that I would be so warm and tender
F#5                        B5
That love could be so very nice
E5       F#5          B5
I made a call to find suspicion on the line
G5           A5
Why couldn't you be all
  D5                                 A5
I thought you wouldn't be a young pretender
F#5                 B5
Again too late I realise
E5          F#5         B5
The reasons now I find, conditions at the time
G5        A5             D5  N.C.
Did not allow for you to be

[Chorus]
N.C.         A5
So don't you worry
            G5           D5
I've got it all under control
     G5         A5
Take time don't worry
         C5      G5        D5
I'm only halfway through a dream

[Verse 2]
D5                                 A5
Now love can really be so warm and tender
F#5                   B5
And can be oh so very nice
E5           F#5         B5
But not that way I said, too late too soon you said
G5            A5                D5   N.C.
Too soon, you said, too late to soon

[Chorus]
N.C.         A5
So don't you worry
            G5           D5
I've got it all under control
     G5         A5
Take time don't worry
         C5      G5        D5
I'm only halfway through a dream

[Interlude]
G5 A5 D5  G5 A5 D5
G5 A5 D5  G5 A5 D5  A5

[Verse 3]
D5                                      A5
You thought that I would be so warm and tender
F#5                        B5
That love could be so very nice
E5       F#5          B5
I made a call to find suspicion on the line
G5           A5
Why couldn't you be all

[Outro]
  D5                        G5       A5
I thought you wouldn't be a young pretender
                   B5         A5
A young pretender, be a young pretender
  D5                        G5       A5
I thought you wouldn't be a young pretender
                   B5         A5
A young pretender, be a young pretender
  D5                        G5       A5
I thought you wouldn't be a young pretender
                   B5         A5
A young pretender, be a young pretender
  D5                        G5       A5
I thought you wouldn't be a young pretender
                   B5         A5
A young pretender, be a young pretender
  D5                        G5       A5
I thought you wouldn't be a young pretender
                   B5         A5
A young pretender, be a young pretender
