1. Poor old Grandad, I laughed at all his
words,
D Em
I thought he was a bitter man who
spoke about women‘s ways.
D Em
They‘ll trap you and they‘ll
use you, and before you even know,
D
Em
for
love is blind and you‘re far too kind, don‘t ever let it show.
D
Em G
I wish that I knew what I know now, when I was younger !
D Em G
I wish that I knew what I know now, when I was stronger

D
Em
They come on strong and it ain‘t too long for to make you feel a man,
D Em
but
love is blind and you soon will find, you‘re just a boy again.

3. When you want her lips, you get her cheek,
Em
makes
you wonder where you are,
D
if you want some more, then
she‘s fast asleep,
Em
leaves
you twinkling with the stars.
D Em
Poor young Grandson, there‘s
nothing I can say,
D Em
you have to learn, just like
me, and that‘s the hardest way.
D Em G
I wish that I knew what I know now, when I was younger !
D Em G
I wish that I knew what I know now, when I was stronger
!
