WHEN YOU WERE YOUNG
SAM'S TOWN
THE KILLERS
2006
I understand that some people who don't have access to a capo (makeshift or
otherwise!) would like to play this song, so here's my version. The album version
is tuned a half step down, but you can choose whether or not you'd like to play it that way.
[Verse 1]
You sit there
in your hearta

Waiting on som
e beautiful bo
y to
save you from
your old ways
You play forgi
veness
Watch it now .
.. here he com

He doesn't loo
k a thing like
Jesus
But he talks l
ike a gentlema

Like you imagi
ned when you w
ere young
[Verse 2]
Can we climb t
his mountain
I don't know
Higher now tha
n ever before
I know we can
make it if we
take it slow
Let's take it
easy
Easy now, watc

We're burning
down the highw

On the back of
a hurricane t
hat started tu

When you were
young
When you were

And sometimes
you close your
eyes
and see the pl

used to live
When you were

* I made the chord in the filler optional. It's how it's supposed to be
leave it out.
It's fine eith
er way :)
I'm also open to any corrections, but I'm fairly sure that this is around 98%
accurate. Thanks for playing this!
