1st verse:
E B C#m G#m
"Stewart boy, you'll never be much cause you're too busy acting the fool."
E B F#
Thank you, Sir, for them few kind words on my last day of school.
E B C#m G#m
Oh, but my mama said I could be a success if I'd only get myself out of bed.
E B F#
Words of wisdom but I wasn't listening, I had plans in my head.
Refrain:
E B C#m G#m
Only a boy, trying it on, coming so strong, restless to roam.
E B C#m G#m
Only a boy, silly and proud, reckless and loud, impressing the crowd.
B
Only a boy
2nd verse:
E B C#m G#m
Rock and roll was in my brains, Eddie Cochrane running through my veins.
E B F#
Skintight trousers in council houses, the unemployment exchange.
E B C#m G#m
The blues I played were Mississippi made and every friday night I'd fall in love.
E B F#
Football fields and teenage pills, nothing's enough.
Refrain:
E B C#m G#m
Only a boy, dressing to kill, passion to spill, hand in the till.
E B C#m G#m
Only a boy, slipping it in, thin as a pin, chasing a dream.
B
Only a boy
B
Only a boy
B
Ooh!

3rd verse:
E B C#m G#m
Oh, them Dukes of freedom I used to believe them and all their rebellious vows.
E B F#
The critics, the cynics who never understood it, where are they now?
E B C#m G#m
And all the wondering and the stumbling that goes hand in hand with change.
E B F#
The yearning, the earning was it all part of learning or am I still the same?
Refrain:
E B C#m G#m
Only a boy, laughing aloud, quick as a shot, nobody can stop
E B C#m G#m
Only a boy, plans of his own, leaving his home, knows where he's going.
B
Only a boy
