The Kingston Trio – When I Was Young (Guitar)

C          G7                    C
When I was young and dreams were new,

          F                    G
I loved a girl who looked like you.

          C                 F
I saw her face in mountains stream.

  C                  G7             C
I lingered there and lost myself in dreams.

C           G7                C
But we were young and tossed away

             F              G
Our precious love along the way.

          C                          F
We parted strangers, thoughtless and free

    C                 G7               C
And set our hearts to wandering aimlessly.

            F               C         
But looking back, somehow I see

           G7               C
How seldom love has come to me.

         F                 C
And I confess that now and then

           G7              C
I think of her remembering when

          G7                    C
If I were young and dreams were new,

           F                    G
I'd love a girl who looked like you.

             C                F
I'd hold her close if she'd agree

   C              G7                  C
To love perhaps a boy who looked like me.
