Intro: C C C C (x4) 

verse 1 

C 
Stay out on the levee 
                         Am 
Watching the leaves roll by (?) 
C 
My heart was feeling heavy 
                        Am 
Did not know the reason why. 
F             C 
I was crying for you 
F            C 
Wherever you may be 
F            C 
I was crying for you 
         F            C 
Because you once were me 

verse 2 

C 
My best friend in this whole world 
                         Am 
Is a man who’s dead and gone. 
C  
Now I’m bound to wander 
                     Am 
With nothing but his song. 
F                     C 
And he walked out of this world 
F                C 
As lonely as he came 
F                C              F             C 
You can rest assured you won’t see my man again. 


C             G      Am    C 
I’ve got the young blood blues 
           F        C 
They’re following me 
               G      Am    C 
I’ve got the young blood blues 
          F            C 
They just won’t let me be. 


verse 3 

C 
I'm going back to New York 
                    Am 
I won't be back to stay 
C 
If you see my old friends 
                               Am 
Won't you tell them I'm still away 
F                       C 
Got heart ache like a river 
F                    C 
And it runs a muddy muck 
F               C 
You could rest assure 
F                                  C 
You won't see me for a long, long while 


C             G      Am    C 
I’ve got the young blood blues 
           F        C 
They’re following me 
               G      Am    C 
I’ve got the young blood blues 
          F            C 
They just won’t let me be. 
C             G      Am    C 
I’ve got the young blood blues 
           F        C 
They’re following me 
               G      Am    C 
I’ve got the young blood blues 
          F            C 
They just won’t let me be.
