[Intro]
G C D C D G C G C G C G
[Verse 1]
C G D We stood in the windy city C D G The gypsy boy and I C D We slept on the breeze in the midnight C D G With the rain droppin' tears in our eyes
[Chorus]
C D G And who's going to be the one C D G To say it was no good what we done? C D G I dare a man to say I'm too young C D G For I'm going to try for the sun
[Verse 2]
C D We huddled in a derelict building C D G And when he thought I was asleep C D He laid his poor coat round my shoulder C D G And shivered there beside me in a heap
[Chorus]
C D G And who's going to be the one C D G To say it was no good what we done? C D G I dare a man to say I'm too young C D G For I'm going to try for the sun
[Verse 3]
C D We sang and cracked the sky with laughter C D G Our breath turned to mist in the cold C D Our years put together count to thirty C D G But our eyes told the dawn we were old
[Chorus]
C D G And who's going to be the one C D G To say it was no good what we done? C D G I dare a man to say I'm too young C D G For I'm going to try for the sun
[Harmonica Solo]
G C D C D G
[Verse 4]
C D Mirror, mirror, hanging in the sky C D G Won't you look down what's happening here below? C D I stand here singing to the flowers C D G So very few people really know
[Chorus]
C D G And who's going to be the one C D G To say it was no good what we done? C D G I dare a man to say I'm too young C D G For I'm going to try for the sun
[Verse 5]
C D We stood in the windy city C D G The gypsy boy and I C D We slept on the breeze in the midnight C D G With the rain droppin' tears in our eyes
[Chorus]
C D G And who's going to be the one C D G To say it was no good what we done? C D G Em I dare a man to say I'm too young C D G For I'm going to try for the sun
