My Young Man Ukulele chords by Kate Rusby

C        G   F     Am
My young man wears a frown
Am    F           D         Asus4         C
With his eyes all closed and his head bowed down
G   C        D
My young man never sleeps.
C   Asus4        E       Dm
Oh the rain it falls upon his back
Dm    E    B  Am
The dust before his eyes is black
F       D        Dm      C
Oft the times, oft the times my young man weeps.
C       G    F     Am
My young man wears a coat
G      F                G
Once, long ago, a bonnie coat
G       C        Em
Which my young man wore with pride.
C       Dm
Now I dress the coat all on his back
G             Em      Am
For love for him I will not lack
Am             Dm         Em
But to see it now, that collier’s coat
I can’t abide.
C        F
My young man, where’s he gone?
C    F     Dm      F   G
Once in his eyes my whole world shone
G      Am             Dm
Now my young man he looks away.
Dm          Em       G
Man and wife we used to be
 G       C          Am
Now he’s like a child upon my knee
F         Dm       G         C
And in my arms I help my young man through the day.
C           F
A young girl no more am I
F            G
But I shall not weep and I will not cry
G      Am             Dm
For my young man needs me still.
Am       F   Em      G
If someone’s watching up above
G      C         Am    F
You’ll see how much my dear I love
F   Asus4       Dm         G       C
So leave him here
I need him now and always will.
C          F  Em       G
Oh if someone’s watching up above
G C         Am     F
You’ll see how much my dear I love
F   Am   Dm       G   C
And If he must go, let your best angels keep him well
