Verse: 
       Am                              F 
I was sitting in a bar in the port of Amsterdam 
       C 
I was just a little boy 
       G 
I was just a little boy 
   Am 
I saw an old man sitting in the corner 
               F 
With a broken record there 
        C 
I was playing with my toys 
        G 
I was playing with a loaded gun 


Verse: 
   Am                                 F 
I don't know what it is that had come over me 
   C                                    G 
I pushed it to the edge and I couldn't talk 

And then I'd start to scream 
   Am                                 F 
I don't know what it is that had come over me 
   C                            G 
I just wanna pull over on this road to mediocrity 


 
        Am                        F 
I said woah there sonny, I got a hole in my stomach 
       C 
I was just a little boy 
       G 
I was just a little boy 
        Am                        F 
I said woah there sonny, I got a hole in my stomach 
       C 
I was just a little boy 
  G                            Am 
Playing with my fathers loaded gun
