	  		Intro: Eb7+  Ab7+  Gm  Fm  Bb7 

Eb7+            Ab7+     Gm7 
Sing a song of sad young man 
Fm7              Bb7 
Glasses full of rye 
Eb7+             Ab7+   Gm7 
All the news is bad   again so 
Fm7         Bb7         Eb7+ 
Kiss your dreams goodbye 
Ab7+              Adim   Bbm7           Bdim 
All the sad young men    sitting in the bars 
Ab/C        Bm6    Bbm7            Eb7/9 
Knowing neon nights  missing  all the stars 
Ab7+              C#7/9  Gm7                  C7/9 
All the sad young men    drifting through the town 
            Ab7+      Gm7      Fm7 Bb7   Eb7+ 
Drinking up the night   trying not to   drown 
Ab7+             Adim  Bbm7          Bdim 
All the sad young men singing in the cold 
Ab/C        Bm6   Bbm7                Eb7/9 
Trying to forget that they're growing old 
Ab7+              C#7/9 Gm7              C7/9 
All the sad young men   choking on their worth 
             Ab7+  Gm7 Fm7     Bb7      Eb7+ Ab7+ Gm Fm Bb7 (2x) 
Trying to be brave,   running from the truth 
Eb7+             Ab7+   Gm7 
Autumm turns the leaves gold 
Fm7             Bb7 
Slowly dies the heart 
Eb7+              Ab7+    Gm7 
Sad young men are growing old 
    Fm7         Bb7     Eb7+ 
And that's the cruelest part 
Ab7+              Adim Bbm7           Bdim 
All the sad young men  seek a certain smile 
Ab/C         Bm6      Bbm7         Eb7/9 
Someone they can hold for a little while 
Ab7+         C#7/9 Gm7               C7/9 
Tired little girl  does the best she can 
             Ab7+ Gm7     Fm7  Bb7  Eb7+ 
Trying to be gay  for her sad young man 
Ab7+            Adim   Bbm7         Bdim 
While the grimy moon   watches from above 
Ab/C              Bm6  Bbm7           Eb7/9 
All the sad young men  play of making love 
Ab7+        C#7/9  Gm                  C7/9 
Misbegotten moon   shine for sad young men 
          Ab7+  Gm               Ab7+    Gm 
Let your gentle light guide them home tonight 
Ab7+  Gm  Fm     Bb7    Eb7+ 
All   the sad   young   men           

( Eb7+ Ab7+ Gm Fm Bb7 )
