C G Am Em
C G D
[Verse]
C G "Stewart boy, you'll never be much Am Em cause you're too busy acting the fool." C Thank you, Sir, for them G D few kind words on my last day of school. C G Oh, but my mama said I could be a success Am Em if I'd only get myself out of bed. C G Words of wisdom but I wasn't listening, D I had plans in my head.
[Chorus]
C G Only a boy, trying it on, Am Em coming so strong, restless to roam. C G Only a boy, silly and proud,
Am Em~
reckless and loud, impressing the crowd.
G~
Only a boy
[Verse]
C G Rock and roll was in my brains, Am Em Eddie Cochrane running through my veins. C G Skintight trousers in council houses, D the unemployment exchange. C G The blues I played were Mississippi made Am Em and every friday night I'd fall in love. C G D Football fields and teenage pills, nothing's enough.
[Chorus]
C G Only a boy, dressing to kill, Am Em passion to spill, hand in the till. C G Only a boy, slipping it in, Am Em thin as a pin, chasing a dream. G Only a boy G Only a boy G Ooh!
[Solo]
C G Am Em
C G D
[Verse]
C G Oh, them Dukes of freedom I used to believe them Am Em and all their rebellious vows. C G The critics, the cynics who never understood it, D where are they now? C G And all the wondering and the stumbling Am Em that goes hand in hand with change. C G The yearning, the earning was it all part of learning D or am I still the same?
[Chorus]
C G Only a boy, laughing aloud, Am Em quick as a shot, nobody can stop C G Only a boy, plans of his own, Am Em leaving his home, knows where he's going. G Only a boy G Only a boy G Only a boy G Only a boy
[Outro]
