Young Man In America Chords

Capo VI
 
This song follows seamlessly on from Anais' song Wilderland,
and they work amazingly played together.
The chords Anais plays in the verse part are:
Em (022000), C (332010), and the same as the C chord but two frets up (554020).
For the chorus bit the best I can make out for the chords are: A, (002220),
unknown chord one (x3434x), unknown chord two (x4545x), and Am (002210).

Howl in the canyon
         (554020)
There's a hollow in my bones
                        Em
Make me cry and carry on
                          C
Make the foam fly from my tongue
 
Make me want what I want
(554020)
Another wayward son
                   Em
Waiting on oblivion
                               C
Waiting for a kingdom come to meet me in my sin
              (554020)
Waiting to be born again
 
Mother kiss me cheek and chin
Em
Mmm, a little nedicine
C                          (554020)
Mmm, I'm gonna shed my skin
                                                  Em
Mmm, and let me climb back in the bed you made me in
 
 
 
I'm new to guitar, so I'm sure this can be improved,
if you have suggestions they'd be appreciated!
