Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

I still hear the snares in the square

Colours ablaze in the evening

The air was still down the stormy hill

It's good to be young and daring

Beat the drum

Beat the drum

Like a heartbeat

Lonely and strong

Beat the drum

[Repeat the same chord sequence for the rest of the verses and chorus]

Bridge

Lyrics:

I still see the blood on the knees

The camans swing without warning

The lads in white

At the speed of light

It's good to be young and daring

(Chorus)

Across the bay I still hear the strains

The two step loud and Blairing

We walked hand in hand

To the accordion band

It's good to be young and daring

(Chorus)

She was the pride of the summer that year

She was my sweetheart, my lady

We walked the black rock

And we stopped by the loch

It's good to be young and daring

(Chorus)
