Young Love

C
She was sitting cross-legged on the 
hood of the Ford

Filing down her nails with an emery 
board
G
Talking to her friends about people 
they knew

And all of the things that young 
girls do
C
When she said "You see that guy in 
the baseball cap?

I'd like to spend some time with a 
boy like that"
G
Betty said "I've seen him at the 
hardware store

I think his name is Billy, but I'm 
not sure"
C
As they talked a little while he 
passed by

She smiled at him, he just said "Hi"
G
He was thinkin' to himself as he 
walked away

"Man, I'd like to find a girl like 
her someday"


[Chorus]
F           C            G      
Young love, strong love, true 
           C
love, it's a new love
They're gonna make it through the 
F
hard times
    C                     G   
And walk those lines yeah these 
                       C
ties'll bind... young love


Continues after the ad
[Verse 2]
C
Well she just couldn't stop herself 
from thinkin' 'bout him

At a store downtown, she saw him 
again
G
She had both hands full, he held 
open the door

Said "My name is Billy, I've seen 
you before
C
Can I help you with these? Can I 
give you a ride?

Can I take you out on Saturday 
night?"
G
She didn't have to say what she was 
feelin' inside

He could see the answer shining in 
her eyes


[Chorus]
F           C            G      
Young love, strong love, true 
           C
love, it's a new love
They're gonna make it through the 
F
hard times
    C                     G   
And walk those lines yeah these 
                       C
ties'll bind... young love


[Verse 3]
          C
Well from that day on, you couldn't 
keep them apart

They were side by side and heart to 
heart
G
Mama cried as Billy slipped the ring
 on her hand

And when the baby was born, she was 
crying again
C
Well he worked real hard and put 
some money down

On a little ol' house at the edge of
 town
G
And that night as he held her, he 
couldn't believe

That God had made a girl that he'd 
never ever leave


[Chorus]
F           C            G      
Young love, strong love, true 
           C
love, it's a new love
They're gonna make it through the 
F
hard times
    C                     G   
And walk those lines yeah these 
                       C
ties'll bind... young love
