| | Bm | D/A |
| How he'd | kick it in the head when he was | twenty-five |
| | F#m | A | Asus4 | A |
| | Speed jive, don't wanna stay alive | when you're | twenty- | five |
| | D | Dmaj7 |

| | F#m | A | Asus4 | A |

| | G | D | A | Asus4 | A |
| Oooh, | man, I need a T | V when I've got | T. Rex | | |
| Oh brother, ya guessed - I'm a dude yeah |
| (In the chorus, the words in ( ) is the stuff that |
| the lead singer's saying.) |
| CHORUS: (see below for the electric guitar) |
| | D | Dmaj7 | Bm |
| | | All the young du | des (hey, dudes) |
| | D/A | Am |
| | Carry the n | ews (where are ya?) |
| | Am7/G | F |
| | Boogaloo du | des (stand up, c'mon) |
| | D | Dmaj7 | Bm |

| | D/A | Am |
| | Carry the n | ews (I wanna see you) |
| | Am7/G | F |
| | Boogaloo du | des (I wanna talk to you, all of you) |
| What the electric guitar is doing in the chorus is basically |
| just picking out the bass line. If you're playing this in a |
| band with an electric, the electric should play this: |
E|---------------------------------------------------------------|

| VERSE 2: (play like verse 1) |
| Lucy's looking sweet, coz he dresses like a queen, |
| but he can kick like a mule, its a real mean team |
| But we can love, oh yes, we can love |
| And my brother's back at home with his Beatles and his Stones |
| We never got it off on that revolution stuff |
| What a drag - too many snags |
| PRE-CHORUS: (play like first pre-chorus) |
| Well I drunk a lotta wine and I'm feelin' fine |
| Gonna race some cat to bed |
| Is that concrete all around or is it in my head? |
| CHORUS: (play like first chorus) |
| All the young dudes (hey dudes) |
| Carry the news (where are ya?) |
| Boogaloo dudes (stand up) |
| All the young dudes (I wanna hear ya) |
| Carry the news (I wanna see you) |
| Boogaloo dudes (I wanna relate to you) |
| All the young dudes (what dudes?) |
| Carry the news (I don't see any dudes, c'mon) |
| Boogaloo dudes (I wanna kiss you) |
| All the young dudes (hey you there, with the glasses) |
| Carry the news (I want you) |
| then keep playing the chorus and fade out. I can't hear |
| any more of what the lead singer is saying. It's not |
| important anyway. Just make up some stuff. |
