Ballad of Youth Richie Sambora
Subject: TAB: Richie Sambora - 'Ballad of Youth'
Someone requested this a while back. This is what I've figured
out. See what you think
Richie Sambora - 'Ballad of Youth'

And then slide down the neck and start playing the verses.
I _think_ that you can pretty much just get away with chords
here. Anyway, that's all I know how to do at this point.
If anyone figures out any little lead parts to spruce this
up, let me know.
[E]Growing up today, there's many [A]mountains you must climb
[C]You're not the only one, 'Cause[D] everybody's on that line
[E]Hey mister know it all, what [A]do you recommend?
[C]You think you know the answers but the[D] questions never end
[E5]Young [F#5]hearts better [G5]hold [A5]on
[C5]Beyond the innocence your [D5]youth is gone
So [E5]look in your [F#5]mirror
You got [G5]nothing to [A5]lose
[C5]Don't waste your time away [D5]thinkin' 'bout yesterday's blues

[E]Born outta passion to a [A]world gone cold
You [C]wear it on your shoulders, it's a [D]heavy, heavy load I know
[E]Love and its emotions come [A]knocking at your door
Y[C]oung hearts will be broken and [D]time's the only cure
[E5]Young [F#5]hearts better [G5]hold [A5]on
[C5]Beyond the innocence your [D5]youth is gone
So [E5]look in your [F#5]mirror
It'll [G5]tell you the [A5]truth
[C5]Don't waste your time away [D5]thinkin' 'bout yesterday's blues

Temptation makes us fall from grace
But the angels were sinners and the sinners saints
Forgive yourself cause we're all the same
Everybody rides on the karma train
[E5]Young [F#5]hearts better [G5]hold [A5]on
[C5]Beyond your innocence your [D5]youth is gone
[E5]Look in you [F#5]mirror, it'll [G5]tell you the [A5]truth
[C5]Don't waste your time away
[D5]Don't waste your life away, no, no
[E5]Live to[F#5]day
There's [G5]no time to [A5]lose
[C5]Cause when tomorrow comes
[D5]It's all just yesterday's news

That's all I know of this one. I hope it's more or less
accurate. Sorry about the lack of the solo. I may get
around to it, I don't know.
BTW, I have also started Mr. Bluesman from this album.
I know the basic chords, etc. Basically enough to go on
_except_ I don't know the solo. E-mail me if you'd like
to see what I've got so far.
Correction, etc. (especially the addition of the solo) are
strongly encouraged.
Enjoy
