YMCA
The Village People
[Verse 1]
[C] Young man... there’s no need to feel down, I said
[Am] Young man... pick yourself off the ground, I said
[Dm] Young man... cos you’re in a new town
There’s no [G*] need... [F*] to... [G*] be... [F*] un[C*]hap[G*]py
[C] Young man... there’s a place you can go, I said
[Am] Young man... when you’re short on your dough, you can
[Dm] Stay there... and I’m sure you will find
Many [G*] ways... [F*] to... [G*] have... [F*] a... [C*] good... [G*] time
[G*] [G*] [G*] [G*] [G*]
|Chorus:
|It’s fun to stay at the [C] YMCA It’s fun to stay at the [Am] YMCA
|They have [Dm] everything for you men to enjoy
|You can [G] hang out with all the boys
|It’s fun to stay at the [C] YMCA It’s fun to stay at the [Am] YMCA
|You can [Dm] get yourself cleaned, you can have a good meal
|You can [G] do whatever you feel
[Verse 2]
[C] Young man... are you listening to me, I said
[Am] Young man... what do you want to be, I said
[Dm] Young man... you can make real your dreams
But you’ve [G*] got... [F*] to... [G*] know... [F*] this... [C*] one... [G*] thing
[C] No man... does it all by himself, I said
[Am] Young man... put your pride on the shelf and just
[Dm] Go there... to the YMCA
I’m sure [G*] they... [F*] can... [G*] help... [F*] you... [C*] to[G*]day
[G*] [G*] [G*] [G*] [G*]
Chorus:
[Verse 3]
[C] Young man... I was once in your shoes, I said
[Am] I was... down and out with the blues, I felt
[Dm] No man... cared if I were alive
I felt [G*] the... [F*] whole... [G*] world... [F*] was... [C*] so... [G*] tight
[C] That’s when... someone came up to me and said,
[Am] Young man... take a walk up the street, there’s a
[Dm] Place there... called the YMCA
They can [G*] start... [F*] you... [G*] back... [F*] on... [C*] your... [G*] way
[G*] [G*] [G*] [G*] [G*]
|Chorus:
|It’s fun to stay at the [C] YMCA It’s fun to stay at the [Am] YMCA
|They have [Dm] everything for you men to enjoy
|You can [G] hang out with all the boys
|It’s fun to stay at the [C] YMCA It’s fun to stay at the [Am] YMCA
|You can [Dm] get yourself cleaned, you can have a good meal
|You can [G] do whatever you feel
