Restless Youth

E G
B E C# B x2


[Verse 1]
         B5                        
Oh, he's much the same as anyone, 
  E5
He don't do what he's told
       F#5                         
He got hostile on his school 
         E5                B5  
report, and he leaves his mother 
E5 D5
cold
    B5                         E5
His father owned a bakery, one day 
they found him hanged
         F#5                     
It don't pay to be free in Little 
                      E5           
Italy, his son's the leader of the 
 B5  E5 D5
gang


[Chorus]
         B5              E5
Restless youth, restless youth
         C#5                  B5
Restless youth, restless youth


[Verse 2]
   B5                              
He soon found out he could not 
      E5
work, the money was no good
     F#5                      
This child of the city hit the 
                       E5          
welfare kitty, did some runnin' for
      B5   E5 D5
 the hoods
        B5                     
And the logic of the street was 
            E5
such, that everything was bent
          F#5                  
There's a lot of white collars, 
stealing government dollars, 
          E5                 
wouldn't notice such a little 
     B5  E5 D5
percent


[Chorus]
         B5              E5
Restless youth, restless youth

         C#5             B5
Restless youth, restless youth
         B5              E5
Restless youth, restless youth
                   C#5             
Oh, yes cause I've been a restless 
     B5
youth


[Verse 3]
      B5                        
Now I went to his graduation, in 
      E5
some Brooklyn overnight jail
   F#5                        
He said he was a member of the 
                             E5    
rock'n roll nation, but his face 
                B5 E5 D5
was drawn 'n pale
     B5                            
They gave him a suspended sentence,
       E5
 'n he got straight on the phone
         F#m                       
Called a big, big, man with a Miami
              E5                   
 tan 'n said "Hi I'm Al Capone, the
 B5    E5 D5
 second"


[Chorus]
         B5              E5
Restless youth, restless youth
            C#5                    
What do you know, I'm the original 
              B5
Restless Youth
         B5              E5
Restless youth, restless youth
                 C#5        
I've been on the phone to my 
               B5
Restless Youth


[Verse 4]
        B5                         
Now his first hit came at 
      E5
seventeen, his second was his last
     F#m                           
Some dealer ran screaming from the 
              E5                   
scene, as the bullets whistled past
B5 E5 D5

       B5                          
'N the cop that killed him shook 
          E5
his head 'n said "I swear the truth
       F#m                         
When I know it was some old, old 
     E5                  B5 E5 D5
man 'n not a restless youth."


[Chorus]
         B5              E5
Restless youth, restless youth
         C#5             B5
Restless youth, restless youth
         B5              E5
Restless youth, restless youth
                   C#5           
Go by the rules if you are, oh, a 
               B5
Restless Youth


[Verse 5]
        B5                         
Now the moral of this story is that
 E5
 all he saw was greed
F#m                             
Legal, illegalities 'n all them 
E5                B5 E5 D5
politician thieves
     B5                          
Good people of the U.S.A. if you 
E5
want your kids to grow
     F#m                           
Then check your harvest carefully, 
      E5                  B5 E5 D5
don't reap; before you sow


[Chorus]
         B5              E5
Restless youth, restless youth
         C#5                       
Restless youth, I just know he's a 
              B5
restless youth
         B5              E5
Restless youth, restless youth
             C#5                
You're gonna lose cause you know 
                        B5
you're a Restless Youth...
