"YOUTH GONE WILD" - SKID ROW

(FROM THE ALBUM: "SKID ROW")

NOTE: 	I'm a rhythm player so this is basically just the rhythm parts of 
	the song. It's not 100% correct, but the basics are here - so just
	listen to the song for the correct strumming and rhythm.
	Enjoy!

HERE'S THE LYRICS AGAIN 'COS I HAD A HARD TIME FITTING THEM IN  UP THERE!:

VERSE 1:
Since I was born, they couldn't hold me down
Another misfit kid, another burned out town
I never played by the rules and I never really cared
My nasty reputation takes me everywhere

PRE:
I look and see 
It's not only me
We're standin' tall, ain't never a doubt
We are the young, shout it out

CHORUS:
They call us problem child
We spend our lives on trial 
We walk an endless mile
We are the youth gone wild
We'll stand and we won't fall
We're one and one for all
The writing's on the wall 
We are the youth gone wild

VERSE 2:
Boss screamin' in my ear about who I'm supposed to be
Get your 3-piece, Wall Street smile, and son you'll look just like me
I said "Hey man there's somethin' you oughta know,
Well I tell ya Park Avenue leads to Skid Row"
