| Bm Em/B A#dim/B G/B A from here until "they say i'm wild and i'm |
| Wasted youth! Wasted youth! reckless just do little slides and stuff, |
| don't play the actual chords unless you |
| want to |
| G/B | A | Bm | |
| T | hey got a f | ile on me and it's a mile long |
| Em/B | |
| And they | say that they got all of the proof |
| A#dim/B | |
| That I'm | just another case of arrested development |
| G/B | A/B | |
| And | just another wasted y | outh |
| They say that I'm in need of some radical discipline |
| They say I gotta face the truth |
| That I'm just another case of arrested development |
| And just another wasted youth |
| A | G | D | |
| They say I'm wild and I'm rec | kless |
| G | D | |
| I | should be acting my age |
| Bm | F#m | |
| I'm an im | pressionable child in a tum | ultuous world |
| C/G | A | |
| And they | say I'm at a difficult stage |
| D | G | |
| But it seems | to me to the co | ntrary |
| D | A | |
| Of all the c | rap they're going to put on the page |
| B5 G5 A5 D5 there are six "wasted youths" and it |
| That a wasted youth is better by far goes (by ending chords) |
| G5 | A5 | B5 | A5 | A5 | D5 | A5 | D5 | A5 | A | |
| Than a wi | se and prod | uctive old | age | (so | in | ord | er, | 1 | 2 1 2 1 3) |
| B5 | G5 | A5 | D5 | |
| That a wa | sted y | outh is b | etter by | far |

| Bm | G | A | D | |
| The th | ree men I admir | e most are Cu | rly, Larry and | Mo! |
| Bm | G | A | D | |

| again palm mute this |
| So sign up all you raw recruits, throw away all those two-bit suits |
| You got your weapons cocked, your targets in your sights |
| There's a party raging somewhere in the world |
| You gotta serve your country, gotta service your girl |
| You're all inducted in the armies of the night |
| And I ain't in it for the power, and I ain't in it for the health |
| I ain't in it for the glory of anything at all |
| And I sure ain't in it for the wealth |
| But I'm in it till it's over and I just can't stop |
| If you wanna get it done, you gotta fight for yourself |
| And I like my music like I like my life |
| Everything louder than everything else |
| this is repeated a bunch of times, and the first 6 times through (listen you'll |
| hear) are just bass and stuff, after that guitar comes in...try some weird stuff |
| add slides after the A is played, or play the a as X-12-14-14-14-12, then play |
| the D A and G one octave up as bar chords, stuff like that |
| FINAL RIFF (for bagpipes) |
G---12--13--10--12--8----10-8-10-12----12--13--10--12--8----10-8-7-8
| have fun, this is one of the best songs in creation |
| again i take no credit nor blame for chords, i gave instructions and the riff and |
| i think that's in the wrong key but the intervals are right |
| PEACE OUT |
