Young Man Blues


(Mose Allison)
as performed by The Who

(opening riff)

Uh well the young man


Ain't got nothing in the world these days

(opening riff again)


I said the young man
ain't got nothing in the world these days

(opening riff one more time)

Uh well you know in the old days


when the young man was a strong man
All the people, they stepped back
when the young man walked by

(yet one more time...)

But you now nowadays


Its the old man, he's got all the money...
And the young man, they ain't got
nothing in the world these days, I say...

(one last rfiff and then on with the solo)

They ain't got nothing...


They got sweet fuck-all!!!

(solo)

In the old days... * Roger is basically


In the old days.. * improvising (or ad-lib)
When the young man... * words (he's got to do
walked by... * something while the
They stepped BACK! * others are jamming!)
They stepped BACK! *

(opening riff to end)
