I was too young to understand. I was too young to understand,
The flowers sleeping in your hEmand, I was too young to understaCnd,
I was too young to understand. ** Strum this part. You could use simple downstrokes, or a more complex strum. **

G And just don't cry, Hold your hAmead up high, She would Emwant you to, She would waCnt you to.
