I Couldn't find any chords or tabs for this song anywhere so I did it by ear. Here it is. [Intro] C - G - C - G - C - G - D - G
               G

[Verse1]Got a lot of memories tied up in this place 

               C                 G
	So much time spent in so little space 

           G
	What looked like the world through the eyes of a child 

           D
	Kind of closes in on you after awhile 

                         Em                      G
	It's a place to grow up and a place to grow old 

                        C                         G
	You keep your mouth shut and you do what you're told 

                  G         
	I told mama the day that I ran 

                      D              G
	This ain't no place for an angry young man 

              C               G
	  Mama if you could see me right now

              C               G
	  You'd be so sure you failed me somehow 

               Em           C
  	  Mama you never could understand 

                D              G
	  There ain't no peace for an angry young man 
C - G - D - G
                G
	A cheap hotel a long way from my home 

             C                   G
	So many people make you feel so alone

            G
	Dreams die easy out here in these streets

           D
	And hearts grow cold in the city heat 

                     Em             G
	I ain't never been the patient kind 

                 C                  G
	I got to live like I please or die tryin'

                 G
	At a filling station with a gun in my hand

                      D          G
	The only way for an angry young man 

                C                G
 	  Mama if you could see me right now

                C                G
	  You'd be so sure you failed me somehow 

                Em               C
  	  Mama you never could understand 

                D                G
	  There ain't no peace for an angry young man
C - G - D - G
             G
	Got a lot of memories tied up in this place

             C                       G
	Tonight they're starin' me right in the face

             G
	A lonely grave on the outskirts of town

             D
	It's three in the morning, ain't no one around 

                      Em              G
	Just like a ghost I come out of the night

                      C               G
	But I'll be gone before the morning light

               G
	Mama I hope that you understand

               D                G
        This ain't no place for an angry young man

                C                G
 	  Mama if you could see me right now

                C                G
	  You'd be so sure you failed me somehow 

                Em               C
  	  Mama you never could understand 

                D                G
	  There ain't no peace for an angry young man

                C                G
 	  Mama if you could see me right now

                C                G
	  You'd be so sure you failed me somehow 

                Em               C
  	  Mama you never could understand 

                D                G
	  There ain't no peace for an angry young man
