 When You Were Young - William Fitzsimmons
 
 I believe this is how it's played...
 Tuning from Low to High string goes C#, G#, C#, F#, C#, C#.
 
 Don't worry, it's not that hard to tune... All you do is make the C# by
 putting your finger on the 2nd fret of the B string (B-2--)and now you have
 your C#: tune your Low E, D, B, and E to it! After that, simply drop your A
 and G string (my favourite kind of string ;-) ) by 1/2 (Put your Capo on the 1st fret
 standard tune your A
 and G string)
 
 It's Picking/Strumming... Either try and pick it after a beer or strum it
 when you're sober and it'll sound about right... Hehehe
 
 From what I hear, the song basically goes like this:

 Before I forget, it's all about the singer, not the song, so here are the
 lyrics:
 
 15 months and they would
 Drag you from your throne
 But you ain't got no place to go
 You're the bad one from the day you were born
 You can run
 I don't think that you can hide
 (Repeat Chord Pattern 4x)
 
 Have you found the knife and cigarettes inside
 of your locker with your books?
 Smoking weed with Joe and Rock inside his house
 You can run
 I don't think that you can hide
 
 Mom wants you to come back home
 She keeps crying when I call her on the phone
 Won't you give this thing a chance?
 You were not what you were
 When you were young
 You were not what you were
 When you were young
 (Repeat Chord Pattern 4x)
 
 I was f***ed up when you needed me the most
 Trying to starve myself to death
 I still feel like I did something always wrong
 You can run
 I don't think that you can hide
 
 Mom wants you to come back home
 She keeps crying when I call her on the phone
 Won't you give this thing a chance?
 Cause you were not what you were
 When you were young
 You were not what you were
 When you were young
 
 (Play Chord Pattern 2x)
 
 You were not what you were
 When you were young
 You were not what you were
 When you were young
 You were not what you were
 When you were young
 You were not what you were
 When you were young
 You were not // Mom wants you to come back home
 She keeps crying when I call her on the phone
 Won't you give this thing a chance?
 You were not what you were
 When you were young
 
 (Repeat Chord Pattern 3x)
