VERSE 1
********
        C                          
Well, a cheeky young-a lad took the
 G
 rise out of me
     Am                    
So I clipped his ear, I was 
 F
twenty-three
        C                  Am     
And I laughed when he ran, said 
                 Em  G
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
But you never let on that you'd 
                     Em  G
gone and done anything bad
        F                          
No, you never let on that you'd 
                    G
gone and done anything bad

VERSE 2
********
       C                           
Then a cheeky young-a lad took the 
G
mick out of me
     Am                   
So I chased him off, I was 
 F
thirty-three
      C                   Am      
And I got close enough to see the 
            Em  G
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        
But I smiled to myself, next time 
                  Em  G
the laddie walked by
Continúa después del anuncio
       F                        
Yes, I smiled to myself the next 
                        G
time the laddie walked by

CHORUS

Am
Cheeky young-a lad, like I used to 
be
F
Cheeky young-a lad, oh, why can't 
you see?
D                                 
Cheeky young-a lad, one day you'll
              G
 be just like me

VERSE 3
********
        C                          
Well, a cheeky young-a lad stood 
  G
and swore at me
     Am                     
So I swore right back, I was 
 F
forty-three
            C                 Am  
And I could give as good as I got 
               Em  G
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                      
And when he stood his ground, well 
  Am                     Em  G
I tell you, then I found fear
        F                       
When he stood his ground, well I 
                        G
tell you, then I found fear

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

VERSE 5
********
          C                        
Because a cheeky young lad came and
 G
 battered me
        Am                   
Took my money and ran and I’m 
 F
sixty-three
      C                  Am       
And I wish I was dead, instead of 
            Em  G
being kept alive
          C                  
Because a cheeky young lad is 
 G
waiting for me
   Am            F
If ever I get to seventy-three
        C                       Am
And the next time, I don't think I
        Em  G
 can survive
  F                      G        
A cheeky young lad who's waiting 
           C   Am
for me to arrive
    F                      G      
The cheeky young lad who's waiting
             C   Am  F  G
 for me to arrive
