Standard (EADGBE)

this whole thing repeats twice

Wasted youth! Wasted youth!

Wasted youth! Wasted youth!

in both of these verses there is no guitar during the actual singing..

the second half is played, just listen to the song

I know that I will never be politically correct

And I don't give a damn about my lack of etiquette

As far as I'm concerned, the world could still be flat

And if the thrill is gone, then it's time to take it back

If the thrill is gone, then it's time to take it back

Who am I? Why am I here? Forget the questions, someone gimme another beer

What's the meaning of life, what's the meaning of it all?

You gotta learn to dance before you learn to crawl

You gotta learn to dance before you learn to

crawl

i palm mute this, do what you will

So sign up all you raw recruits

Throw away those designer suits

You got your weapons cocked

Your targets in your sights

There's a party raging somewhere in the world

You gotta serve your country, gotta service your girl

You're all enlisted in the armies of the night

And I ain't in it for the power

And I ain't in it for my health

I ain't in it for the glory of anything at all

And I sure ain't in it for the wealth

But I'm in it till it's over and I just can't stop

If you wanna get it done, you gotta do it yourself

And I like my music like I like my life

Everything louder than everything else

Everything louder than everything else

Everything louder than everything else

Bm Em/B A#dim/B G/B A from here until "they say i'm wild and i'm

Wasted youth! Wasted youth! reckless just do little slides and stuff,

don't play the actual chords unless you

want to

They got a file on me and it's a mile long

And they say that they got all of the proof

That I'm just another case of arrested development

And just another wasted youth

They say that I'm in need of some radical discipline

They say I gotta face the truth

That I'm just another case of arrested development

And just another wasted youth

They say I'm wild and I'm reckless

I should be acting my age

I'm an impressionable child in a tumultuous world

And they say I'm at a difficult stage

But it seems to me to the contrary

Of all the crap they're going to put on the page

B5 G5 A5 D5 there are six "wasted youths" and it

That a wasted youth is better by far goes (by ending chords)

Than a wise and productive old age (so in order, 1 2 1 2 1 3)

That a wasted youth is better by far

Than a wise and productive old age

That a wasted youth is better by far

Than a wise and productive old age

from here until Mo, just strike each note once and mute it right away

If you want my views of history then there's something you should know

The three men I admire most are Curly, Larry and Mo!

If you don't worry 'bout the future, sooner or later it's the past

And if they say the thrill is gone, then it's time to take it back

If the thrill is gone, then it's time to take it back

again palm mute this

So sign up all you raw recruits, throw away all those two-bit suits

You got your weapons cocked, your targets in your sights

There's a party raging somewhere in the world

You gotta serve your country, gotta service your girl

You're all inducted in the armies of the night

And I ain't in it for the power, and I ain't in it for the health

I ain't in it for the glory of anything at all

And I sure ain't in it for the wealth

But I'm in it till it's over and I just can't stop

If you wanna get it done, you gotta fight for yourself

And I like my music like I like my life

Everything louder than everything else

this is repeated a bunch of times, and the first 6 times through (listen you'll

hear) are just bass and stuff, after that guitar comes in...try some weird stuff

add slides after the A is played, or play the a as X-12-14-14-14-12, then play

the D A and G one octave up as bar chords, stuff like that

FINAL RIFF (for bagpipes)

have fun, this is one of the best songs in creation

again i take no credit nor blame for chords, i gave instructions and the riff and

i think that's in the wrong key but the intervals are right

PEACE OUT
