When I Was Young

The picking pattern for the G parts of the verses go like this:

|---3-------------------|
|---3-----3-----3-----3-|
|---0-------------------|
|---0-------------0h2---|
|---2-------0h2---------|
|-3-3---3---------------|


And the Em7 parts go like this:

|---0-------------------|
|---3-----3-----3-----3-|
|---0-------------------|
|---2-------------0h2---|
|---2-------0h2---------|
|-0-0---0---------------|



G
When I was young at night I'd call your name
G
When I was young I fell in love every other day
Em7
When I was young, lord when I was young

G
All of what I've done and all I've seen
G
Place it brought me to, place I thought I'd be
Em7
When I was young, lord when I was young


C______________________________________________________Em7
Now in the lonesome of the night I wake, no names do I call
C____________________________________________________________Em7__D
And in the lonesome of the night I drink, to all the loves I lost
C_____D_____Em7________C
Oh the days I let slip away
C________________________D_______________G
I was fierce and wild in love when I was young


G
Now working never did agree with me
G
Maybe I never stuck around long enough to see
Em7
When I was young, lord when I was young


C______________________________________________________Em7
Now in the lonesome of the night I wake, no names do I call
C____________________________________________________________Em7__D
And in the lonesome of the night I drink, to all the loves I lost
C_____D_____Em7________C
Oh the days I let slip away
C________________________D_______________G
I was fierce and wild in love when I was young


Em7___________________________________________C
All those long gone nights with you next to me
Em7________________________________C
I let those years slip by so easily
C__________________Em7_D_C__Em7_D_C__Em7_D_G
They went so easily


G
I spent all my days trying to be
G
Something you can't hold, something close to free
Em7
But I ain't young, lord knows that I'm not young


C_____D_____Em7________C
Oh the days I let slip away
C________________________D_______________Em7
I was fierce and wild in love when I was young
C_____D_____Em7_____________________C
Oh the days all the mistakes that I made
C________________________D_______________G
I was fierce and wild in love when I was young

    Not sure, but it sounds like the ??? line is something like: "Now getting lonesome on that highway, Baby Here I come"

    Does anyone have any suggestions on the differences between this and the acoustic version from the tram in Alaska video.
