Ricky Nelson – Mean Old World (Guitar)

C#m
I walk in a crowd, hidin' tears I can't cry out loud

A                       G#m
I can't let them see me cry

C#m                                 G#m
'Cause they don't care if I live or die

                C#m
And it's a mean old world, let me tell you

       C#m                     F#m      C#m
It's a mean old world when you need someone

C#m
I sit in my room, it's a room filled with gloom

A                          G#m
I sit and wait for the telephone

C#m                          G#m
But no one cares if I'm all alone

                C#m
And it's a mean old world, let me tell you

          C#m              F#m          C#m
It's a mean old world when you need someone

A          C#m
Sometime's, my friends don't understand me

A         C#m
Sometime's they can be so cruel

F#7
All I hope, is someday I'll find

                              B7
Someone to love my whole life through

C#m
I walk down the street, hide my face from the people I meet

A                              G#m
They don't see the tears in my eyes

C#m                     G#m
They don't care or even realise

                  C#m
That it's a mean old world, let me tell you

         C#m               F#m          C#m
It's a mean old world when you need someone

       C#m                F#m          C#m
It's a mean old world when you need someone

       C#m              F#m            C#m
It's a mean old world, babe I need someone

       C#m             F#m           C#m
It's a mean old world, oh I need someone
