When I Was Young (CHORDS) by The Kingston Trio
[Verse]~
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!
[Verse]~
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!
[Chorus]~
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
[Verse]~
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!
