    G 
The young ones 
                  Em 
darling we're the young ones 
        G 
and the young ones 
             Em 
shouldn't be afraid 
   G       D7 
to live    love 
G                  C 
while the flame is strong 
         G              D7 
cause we may not be the young ones, 
     G 
very long. 
 
 
  G 
Tomorrow 
                 Em 
Why wait until tomorrow 
         G 
'cause tomorrow 
                Em 
sometimes never comes 
   G        D7 
so love     me 
G                    C 
There's a song to be sung 
        G            D7 
and the best time to sing it 
               G     G7 
is while we're young. 
 
 
Chorus: 
C                       C * 
Once in every life time 
G                     G * 
Comes a love like this 
    A7          / 
Oh, I need you, you need me 
D             D7 
Oh my darling can you see 
 
 
    G 
The young dreams 
                  Em 
should be dreamed together 
          G 
And young hearts 
             Em 
shouldn't be afraid 
    G       D7 
And some    day 
G                   C 
when the years have flown 
             G               D7 
Darling then we'll teach the young ones 
       G   G7 
of our own.
