VERSE 1

        C                           G
Well, a cheeky young-a lad took the rise out of me 
     Am                     F
So I clipped his ear, I was twenty-three 
        C                  Am                      Em  G
And I laughed when he ran, said that he'd tell his dad
           C                  G
'Cause I’d done the same when I was a boy 
     Am                      F
When cheeking grownups was a young lad’s joy 
        C                       Am                     Em  G
But you never let on that you'd gone and done anything bad
        F                                              G
No, you never let on that you'd gone and done anything bad

       C                           G
Then a cheeky young-a lad took the mick out of me 
     Am                    F
So I chased him off, I was thirty-three 
      C                   Am                  Em  G
And I got close enough to see the tear in his eye
      C                       G
And I said, "If you talk like that once more 
     Am                       F
I'll tell your dad and you'll get what for"
      C                 Am                          Em  G
But I smiled to myself, next time the laddie walked by
       F                                                G
Yes, I smiled to myself the next time the laddie walked by

        C                            G
Well, a cheeky young-a lad stood and swore at me 
     Am                      F
So I swore right back, I was forty-three 
            C                 Am                 Em  G
And I could give as good as I got any day of the year
       C                   G
But it made me boil and it made me rage
   Am                 F
It made me feel every year my age 
            C                        Am                     Em  G
And when he stood his ground, well I tell you, then I found fear
        F                                               G
When he stood his ground, well I tell you, then I found fear

VERSE 4
********
        C                         G
Well, a cheeky young lad came and jostled me 
        Am                       F
He just pushed right past, I was fifty-three 
           C                       Am                 Em   G
And when I shouted, "Hey!" he just walked away with a sneer
      C                     G
And I raised my fist, but I felt afraid 
       Am                          F
Of the young lad's swagger and the world we'd made 
      C                         Am              Em  G
And I wished it was like it had been just yesteryear
       F                                         G
Yes, I wished it was like it had been just yesteryear

VERSE 5

          C                         G
Because a cheeky young lad came and battered me 
        Am                    F
Took my money and ran and I’m sixty-three 
      C                  Am                   Em  G
And I wish I was dead, instead of being kept alive
          C                   G
Because a cheeky young lad is waiting for me 
   Am            F
If ever I get to seventy-three 
        C                       Am        Em  G
And the next time, I don't think I can survive
  F                      G                   C   Am
A cheeky young lad who's waiting for me to arrive
    F                      G                   C   Am  F  G
The cheeky young lad who's waiting for me to arrive
