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 .
ebabdbgbbbeb
when you were young
sam’s town
the killers
2006
F G Am
you sit there in your heartache
C F
waiting on some beautiful boy to
F G Am
save you from your old ways
C
you play forgiveness
F
watch it now . . . here he comes!
F G Am
he doesn’t look a thing like jesus
C
but he talks like a gentleman
F G Am C F
like you imagined when you were young
F
can we climb this mountain
G Am
i don’t know
C F
higher now than ever before
F G Am
i know we can make it if we take it slow
C
let’s take it easy
F
easy now , watch it go
F G Am
we’re burning down the highway skyline
C
on the back of a hurricane that started turning
F G Am C F
when you were young
F G Am C F
when you were young
F G
and sometimes you close your eyes
Am C F
and see the place where you used to live
F G Am C F
when you were young
filler * : F Em Dm C Am ( Bm ) G
Dm
they say the devil’s water , it ain’t so sweet
Dm Am
you don’t have to drink right now
Am ( c? )
but you can dip your feet
F
every once in a little while
F G Am C F
F G Am
you sit there in your heartache
C F
waiting on some beautiful boy to
F G Am
to save you from your old ways
C
you play forgiveness
F
watch it now here he comes
F G Am
he doesn’t look a thing like jesus
C
but he talks like a gentleman
F G Am
like you imagined when you were young
C F
( he talks like a gentlemen , like you imagined when )
F G Am C F
when you were young
F Am G C F
i said he doesn’t look a thing like jesus
F Am G C F
he doesn’t look a thing like jesus
F Em Dm C ( Bm ) Am G
but more than you’ll ever know
* i made the Bm chord in the filler optional . it’s how it’s supposed to be
played , but if like me you find the transitions harder with the Bm in there , then
leave it out . it’s fine either way : )
i’m also open to any corrections , but i’m fairly sure that this is around 98%
accurate . thanks for playing this!
