[Verse 1]
 D                 Em7
Poor old Granddad  I laughed at all his words
 D                              Em7
I thought he was a bitter man   He spoke of women's ways
 D                                   Em7
They'll trap you, then they use you  Be-fore you even know
 D                                          Em7
For love is blind and you're far too kind   Don't ever let it show
 
 
[Chorus]
 D                            Em7   G
I wish that I knew all I know now   When I was younger
 D                             Em7  G
I wish that I knew all I know now   When I was stronger.
 
 
[Main Melody] x2
 
 
[Verse 2]
 D                                 Em7
The Can Can's such a pretty show   They'll steal your heart away
 D                                   Em7
But backstage, back on earth again   The dressing rooms are grey
 D                                          Em7
They come on strong and it ain't too long   Before they make you feel a man
 D                                         Em7
But love is blind and you soon will find   You're just a boy again
 
 
[Chorus]
Play around with D chord during 'solo'
Main melody x2
 
 
[Verse 3]
 D                                        Em7
When you want her lips, you get a cheek   Makes you wonder where you are
 D                                            Em7
If you want some more and she's fast asleep   Leaves you twinkling with the stars.
 D                           Em7
Poor young grandson, there's nothing I can say
 D                                  Em7
You'll have to learn, just like me  And that's the hardest way
 
 
[Chorus]
