Intro:
E

In the e days of my youth I was d told what it a means to be a e man d-a:d:d#
E now I’ve reached that age I try to d do all those a things the best I e can d-a:d:d#
But no e matter how I try, I find my d way into the a same old e jam d-a:d:d#

Chorus:
A good times, d bad times,
You a know I had my d share
When my b7 woman left home with a e7 brown eyed man,
But I b still don’t seem to care

F#(7) seventeen: I fell in love with a girl as sweet as could be
Only took a couple of days til she was rid of me
She swore that she would be all mine and love me till the end,
When I whispered in her ear I lost another friend
