C G F Am
My young man wears a frown
Am F D Asus4 C
With his eyes all closed and his head bowed down,
G C D
My young man never sleeps.
C Asus4 E Dm
Oh the rain it falls upon his back,
Dm E B Am
The dust before his eyes is black,
F D Dm C
Oft the times, oft the times my young man weeps.
C G F Am
My young man wears a coat,
G F G
Once, long ago, a bonnie coat
G C Em
Which my young man wore with pride.
CDm
Now I dress the coat all on his back,
G Em Am
For love for him I will not lack,
Am Dm Em
But to see it now, that colliers coat, I cant abide.
C F
My young man, wheres he gone?
C F Dm F G
Once in his eyes my whole world shone
G Am Dm
Now my young man he looks away.
Dm Em G
Man and wife we used to be
G C Am
Now hes like a child upon my knee
F Dm G C
And in my arms I help my young man through the day.
C F
A young girl no more am I
F G
But I shall not weep and I will not cry,
G Am Dm
For my young man needs me still.
Am F Em G
If someones watching up above
G C Am F
Youll see how much my dear I love,
F Asus4 Dm G C
So leave him here, I need him now and always will.
C F Em G
Oh if someones watching up above
GC Am F
Youll see how much my dear I love,
F Am Dm GC
And If he must go, let your best angels keep him well
