VERSE:
[G#5]God, what a [B5]mess, on the [G#5]ladder of [F#5]success
Where you [E5]take one step and [F#5]miss the whole first [B5]rung
[G#5]Dreams unful[B5]filled, [G#5]graduate un[F#5]skilled
It [E5]beats pickin' cotton and [F#5]waitin' to be for[B5]gotten
CHORUS:
[E5]Wait on the sons of no one
[B5]Bastards of young
[E5]Wait on the sons of no one
[B5]Bastards of young
[F#5]the daughters and the [E5]sons
[B5]
Clean your baby womb, trash that baby boom
Elvis in the ground, there'll ain't no beer tonight
Income tax deduction, what a hell of a function
It beats pickin' cotton and waitin' to be forgotten
Wait on the sons of no one
Bastards of young
Wait on the sons of no one
Bastards of young
The daughters and the sons
BRIDGE:
[B5] [C#5]
[C#5]Unwillingness to [F#5]claim us,
F#5* E5* D#5 C#5 B5
ya got no word to name us
SOLO CHORDS: E5 B5 E5 B5 F#5 E5 B5
The ones who love us best are the ones we'll lay to rest
And visit their graves on holidays at best
The ones who love us least are the ones we'll die to please
If it's any consolation, I don't begin to understand them
We are the sons of no one, bastards of young
We are the sons of no one, bastards of young
The daughters and the sons
OUTRO TO THIRD CHORUS:
[D#5] [C#5] [B5]
