The Kids Are Alright Words & Music By Pete Townshend
I don't mind other guys dancing with my girl.
That's fine. I know them all pretty well
But I know sometimes I___ must get out___ in the light___.
Better leave her behind___ where the kids are alright.
The kids are alright.
Sometimes I feel I gotta get away___.
Bells chime. I know I gotta get away
And I know if I don't___, I'll go out___ of my mind___.
Better leave her behind___ where the kids are alright.
The kids are alright.
I know if I'd go, things'd be a lot better for her.
I had things planned, but her folks wouldn't let her.
I don't mind other guys dancing with my girl.
That's fine. I know them all pretty well
But I know sometimes I must get out in the light.
Em [NC] D Better leave her behind where the kids are alright.
The kids are alright.
(solo -- mostly A, G*, and A*)
Sometimes I feel I gotta get away.
Bells chime. I know I gotta get away
And I know if I don't, I'll go out of my mind.
Dsus4 Better leave her behind where the kids are alright_________.
(same pattern, D, Dsus4, A) The kids are alright. The kids are alright.
The kids are alright.
/////////////// A* and G* represent an F-barre chord (i.e. xx7655 and xx5433). Where I have the chord over the middle of a syllable (or in some cases over underscores at the end of a word), play the chord about an eighth note behind. In the section where I have the chords in between words, strum the chord twice (eighth notes). Listen to the recording.
