From: holladay@engin.umich.edu (matthew m. holladay) Subject: TAB: Richie Sambora - 'Ballad of Youth' Someone requested this a while back. This is what I've figured out.

I _think_ that you can pretty much just get away with chords here. Anyway, that's all I know how to do at this point. If anyone figures out any little lead parts to spruce this up, let me know.

^EGrowing up today, there's many ^Amountains you must climb ^CYou're not the only one, 'Cause^D everybody's on that line ^EHey mister know it all, what ^Ado you recommend' ^CYou think you know the answers but the^D questions never end

^E5Young ^F#5hearts better ^G5hold ^A5on ^C5Beyond the innocence your ^D5youth is gone So ^E5look in your ^F#5mirror You got ^G5nothing to ^A5lose ^C5Don't waste your time away ^D5thinkin' 'bout yesterday's blues

^EBorn outta passion to a ^Aworld gone cold You ^Cwear it on your shoulders, it's a ^Dheavy, heavy load I know ^ELove and its emotions come ^Aknocking at your door Y^Coung hearts will be broken and ^Dtime's the only cure

^E5Young ^F#5hearts better ^G5hold ^A5on ^C5Beyond the innocence your ^D5youth is gone So ^E5look in your ^F#5mirror It'll ^G5tell you the ^A5truth ^C5Don't waste your time away ^D5thinkin' 'bout yesterday's blues

I hope it's more or less accurate. Sorry about the lack of the solo. I may get around to it, I don't know. BTW, I have also started Mr. Bluesman from this album. I know the basic chords, etc. Basically enough to go on _except_ I don't know the solo. E-mail me if you'd like to see what I've got so far. Correction, etc. (especially the addition of the solo) are strongly encouraged. Enjoy Matthew M Holladay holladay@engin.umich.edu ------------------------
