Here's a tab for this brilliant song for the ages.
Hope you enjoy it!

Tuning: E-A-D-G-B-e


Intro: C-D-G (7x)
    C-D pause

verse 1:
  C    D    G
Natatawa sa atin kaibigan
     C     D  G
At nangangaral ang buong mundo
 C     D      G
Wala na raw tayong mga kabataan
   C     D-G
Sa ating mga ulo


verse 2:
    C      D  Em-D
Kung gusto niyo kaming sigawan
 C    D     G
Bakit hindi niyo subukan?
C      D
Lalo lang kayong
      G    C-D-G
Hindi maiintindihan


Chorus:
       C-D-G
Ang awit ng kabataan
       C-D-G
Ang awit ng panahon
       C  D G
Hanggang sa kinabukasan
     C  D   G
Awitin natin ngayon

   C   D    G
Hindi niyo kami mabibilang
   C      D   G
At hindi rin maikukulong
C             G
Marami kami ngunit iisa lamang
   C    G
Ang aming pasyon


(Repeat Chorus)


verse 3:
        C
At sa pag-tulog sa gabi
   G   G  G pause
Maririnig ang dasal
    C
Ng kabataang uhaw
     G
Sa tunay na pagmamahal
