Young Man Cried
Intro: F Am D# Bb F (2X)
F G7 C7
It's funny a million little things still run through my mind
F G7 C7
The dream is, it's getting late but time has left me behind
F Am D# Bb F
I find that everything I lived, I lived for you
Am D# Bb F
Everything I did, I did for you
Dm D# C F
You’re gone again, and a young man cried for you
Your face I still see on a pillow in a grey sleepy dawn
It's over, the cat's on that pillow wondering where the girls gone
I start to think about the things you used to say
I keep letting dreams get in my way
You're gone again, and a young man cried today
D# Bb F C
My own shadows surround me they won't go away
D# Bb F C
I keep hearing your voice and I cry out your name
Dm D# C F
You're gone again, and a young man cried today
