Intro
[G] [C]
[G] [D]
[G] This is the hat that my [C] mom gave me
[G] Now its half full with [D] change
I used to [G] sit at my desk and [C] yearn for freedom
[D] Now I bum cigarettes from [G] strangers
[G] I learned to beg from [C] my school teachers
With [G] hands out ready for [D] pay
We used to [G] get high on rewards and [C] books full of stickers
[D] Now no one sits to watch me [G] play
Tell me [D] where did I [C] go wrong
I know [D] all the old folks wonder the [G] same
[D] They all say he’s [C] too young
[D] They all say what-a [G] shame
[G] Yes I am young only [C] seventeen
And [G] I ain’t got no place to [D] sleep
I used to [G] crawl into to bed when [C] life got mean
[D] Now I fight for pavement on [G] the street
