The Replacements – Bastards Of Young (Guitar)

G#m         B    G#m                   F#
God what a mess, on the ladder of success

  E                         F#                   B
Where you take one step and miss the whole first rung

G#m     B           G#m        F#
Dreams unfulfilled, graduate unskilled

  E                          F#             B
It beats pickin' cotton or waitin' to be forgotten

E                           B
We are the sons of no one, bastards of young

E                           B
We are the sons of no one, bastards of young

E                      F#
The daughters and the sons

G#m              B    G#m              F#
Clean your baby womb, trash that baby boom

 E                      F#                  B
Elvis in the ground, waitin' on a beer tonight

G#m          B            G#m          F#
Income tax deduction, what a hell of a function

 E                           F#            B
It beats pickin' cotton or waitin' to be forgotten

E                           B
We are the sons of no one, bastards of young

E                           B
We are the sons of no one, bastards of young

E                      F#    B
The daughters and the sons

C#m                          E
Unwillingness to claim us, got no warrant to name us

G#m                B           G#m               F#
The ones love us best are the ones we'll lay to rest

 E                          F#         B
And visit their graves on holidays at best

G#m                B           G#m                 F#
The ones love us least are the ones we'll die to please

 E                            F#                       B 
If it's any consolation, I don't begin to understand them

E                           B
We are the sons of no one, bastards of young

E                           B
We are the sons of no one, bastards of young

E                           F#
The daughters and the sons

Take it, it's yours...
