When I Was Young chords
The Animals 1966 *
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/When_I_Was_Young_(song)
The rooms were so much colder then
My father was a soldier then
And times were very hard,
When I was young, when I was young
I smoked my first cigarette at ten
And for girls, I had a bad yen
And I had quite a ball,
When I was young
When I was young, it was more important
Pain more painful
Laughter much louder
Yeah, when I was young
When I was young
I met my first love at thirteen
She was brown and I was pretty green
And I learned quite a lot when I was young, When I was young
Gm F 3x
When I was young, it was more important
Pain more painful
Laughter much louder
Yeah, when I was young, when I was young
My faith was so much stronger then
I believed in my fellow men
And I was so much older then,
When I was young 3x
