capo 7 — sounds 7 semitones higherVerse 1
Poor old Granddad I laughed at all his words
I thought he was a bitter man He spoke of women's ways
They'll trap you, then they use you Be-fore you even know
For love is blind and you're far too kind Don't ever let it show
Chorus
I wish that I knew what I know now When I was younger
I wish that I knew what I know now When I was stronger.
Verse 2
The Can Can's such a pretty show They'll steal your heart away
But backstage, back on earth again The dressing rooms are grey
They come on strong and it ain't too long Before they make you feel a man
But love is blind and you soon will find You're just a boy again
Chorus
I wish that I knew what I know now When I was younger
I wish that I knew what I know now When I was stronger.
Solo

Verse 3
When you want her lips, you get a cheek Makes you wonder where you are
If you want some more and she's fast asleep Leaves you twinkling with the stars.
Poor young grandson, there's nothing I can say
You'll have to learn, just like me And that's the hardest way
Ooh la la
Ooh la la, la la, yeah
Chorus
I wish that I knew what I know now When I was younger
I wish that I knew what I know now When I was stronger.
