Wasted Youth Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
Wasted [C]Youth
[G]Wasted Youth
I remember everything!
[C]I remember [G]everything little thing,
as if it happened yesterday
[C]I was barely seventeen,
[G]and[Am] I once killed a boy with a Fender Guitar
[G]I don't remember if it was a
Telecaster or a [B]Stratocaster
But I do remember that it had a [C]heart of [G]chrome,
and a voice like a horny angel
I don't remember if it was a Telecaster or a
Stratocaster
But I do remember that it wasn't
[Em]at all [G]easy
It required the perfect [F]combination
of the [G]right power chords
And the precise angel
from which to strike!
The [B]guitar bled [A]for about a week [B]aft[G]erwords

[Verse 2]
And the blood was
zoot, dark and rich,
[Bb]like wild berry's
[G]The blood of the guitar
was Chuck Berry red
The guitar bled for
about a week afterwords
But it rung out beautifully
[Em]And I was able to play notes t[G]hat I
had never even [D]heard be[Am]fore
[G]So I t[B]ook my guitar

[Verse 3]
[B]
And I smashed it against the wall
I smashed it [Bm]against the floor
I smashed it against the
[B]body of a varsity cheerleader
[Bm]Smashed it against the hood of
a car
Smashed it against [B]a 1981 Har
[Bm]ley- Davidson
The Harley howled in pain
The guitar [B]howled in heat

[Verse 4]
[G]And [B]I ran up the stairs to my parents [G]bedroom
[G]Mommy and Daddy [B]were sleep
[G]ing in the moonlight
Slowly I [D]opened the [Dm]door
[G]Creeping in the shadows right up to
the foot of their bed
I raised the guitar high above my head
And just as I was about to bring the guitar crashing
down upon the center of the bed
My father woke up, screaming
[Am]"Stop!"
"Wait a minute. Stop it boy.
What do you think your doing?"
"That's no way to treat an [F]expens
ive music[B]al instru[G]ment"
And I said, "God Damn It daddy,"
[B]"Y ou know I love you,
But you've got a hell of a lot to learn about Rock n' Roll"
